About this board game

Cuisine a la Card is a competitive deck-building card game for 2–4 players, with games lasting around 45 minutes. You take the role of an up-and-coming Chef, crafting elaborate dishes from the ingredients available in the Marketplace.

On your turn, use Tasting Spoons and Forks to purchase Ingredients. Add those Ingredients to your deck or place them in your Warming Tray, then use your culinary resources to submit Dishes to a discerning panel of Judges.

Judges reward successful Chefs with Medals and passive abilities. These abilities can change your options and potentially turn the tide of the competition, making each Judge an important part of your overall strategy.

  • Build and manage your deck with Ingredients from the Marketplace.
  • Use Tasting Spoons and Forks as you purchase cards and develop your kitchen.
  • Choose how to use your Ingredients: add them to your deck or place them in your Warming Tray.
  • Submit Dishes to Judges to earn Medals and useful passive abilities.

Your Warming Tray may become your greatest asset or your worst nightmare, while a simple dash of Salt could provide the edge needed to tip the balance. With the competition constantly shifting, you must manage your deck carefully and adapt your strategy to keep pace with your opponents.

Fast-paced and challenging, Cuisine a la Card rewards careful planning, flexible decision-making, and the ability to outwit rival Chefs. When the competition ends, the Chef with the most Medals wins.
