Cuisine a la Card is a competitive deck-building card game for 2 - 4 players. You are up-and-coming Chefs, crafting the finest and most elaborate dishes out of the ingredients available to you, and submitting those dishes to a discerning panel of Judges to win Medals. In this cut-throat world of culinary competition, Tasting Spoons are your currency, your Warming Tray may be your greatest asset or your worst nightmare, and a simple dash of Salt may just be what you need to tip the balance in your favor and win the game. On their turns, Players use their Tasting Spoons, and Forks, to purchase Ingredients available in the Marketplace. Ingredients are added to their decks, or placed into their Warming Trays, and Players use those Ingredients to submit Dishes to Judges. Those Judges reward the Player with Medals, as well as passive abilities that could turn the tide of the game. The Player with the most Medals wins the game. Cuisine a la Card is fast-paced and challenging as Players have to constantly manage their decks and shift strategies to outwit their opponent and ensure that they are the winning Chef.
