Step into the shoes of an intergalactic Chef, competing against other Chefs in a knock down, no-holds-barred Cooking competition! The featured ingredient for the this contest… Human Beings! Impressing the Celebrity Judges with your culinary prowess while making sure your ingredients don’t run away is not an easy task, but one that must be mastered if you are to become the champion of Space Kitchen Stadium! In this light worker placement game, players gather resources, cook them up, and combine them to create Dishes to present to the Celebrity Judge panel. Each Judge claimed awards bonus points for future Dishes and helps shape the Chef's overall strategy. The Chef that does this the best, while watching the clock as well as dealing with the inevitable hazards of outer space, wins!
