Read the full game description

To cook a proper bowl of ramen, you need the freshest ingredients! In each round of Ramen, players bid secretly with their ingredient cards for the turn order, trying to get the best ingredient cards from the offer to add them to their ramen bowls. Once every player has revealed their cards and got a card from the offer, they bid in the next round for the cards they used for bidding. Once all the cards in the game are played, tips are granted to the players who have the lowest value in their ingredients, then scoring occurs. The player who earns the most yen at the end of the game wins. ••• ¡Para cocinar un buen bol de ramen se necesitan los ingredientes más frescos! En Ramen añadirás los ingredientes que irás consiguiendo a tus boles. ¡Cocina el mejor ramen para obtener una propina más grande! En cada ronda, los jugadores pujarán en secreto con una carta de ingrediente por el orden de turno para obtener cartas de ingredientes de la oferta. Cuando todos los jugadores hayan revelado sus cartas y hayan obtenido sus ingredientes, en la siguiente ronda pujarán por los ingredientes, pero ésta vez con los que usaron para pujar por el orden de turno. Cuando todas las cartas de la partida se hayan usado, se otorgarán las propinas a los jugadores que tengan el menor valor en los ingredientes y se cuentan yenes. ¡El jugador que haya ganado más yenes al final de la partida será el ganador!
