In Cooks & Crooks a group of international chefs compete in a cooking TV show, but unlike those ones, these chefs don’t mind playing dirty! They will try to obtain victory while sabotaging their opponent’s efforts by stealing their supplies, swapping ingredients in their ovens or even by adding a nasty ingredient to their recipes. To win, you'll have to prepare the most delicious dishes... but be careful! Other players may try to put in the proverbial fly in your soup, or worse! Try to obtain the best scores from the judges while at the same time trying to ruin other chefs dishes. When the bell signaling the round’s end rings, the player with the most amount of points will be declared the winner. May the most crooked chef win! —description from the publisher
