Help chef Sango prepare the tastiest Japanese “ramen” (noodle soup). Tactically select your ingredients, draw them into the different bowls and complete the customers’ orders. Are you the best sous chef? In each of the 6 rounds, the players draw the ingredients from 2 topping cards in the 8 bowls of their score card. The players get to choose the first topping card themselves and the remaining topping card must be drawn by all the players. Draw the ingredients of the topping cards in the correct bowls in order to earn points. A bonus is awarded for a full bowl. The smartest player who earns the most points wins the game. -description from publisher
