Rival Restaurants: Back for Seconds

About this expansion

Rival Restaurants: Back for Seconds is a 2020 expansion for 2–6 players, with games lasting around 60 minutes. It adds fresh chefs, restaurants, action cards, and a dynamic Event Deck to the quest to become the “Hippest Spot in Town” and be crowned “The Wiener!”

This expansion introduces 8 new chefs, 6 additional restaurants, and 9 brand-new action cards. These additions expand the Rival Restaurants universe with more options to consider as aspiring chefs and restaurateurs compete for recognition.

• 8 new chefs
• 6 additional restaurants
• 9 new action cards
• A 15-card Event Deck

The biggest addition is the Event Deck, which contains 15 Event Cards. Events are activated every other day and affect all players, making them a shared part of the competition rather than an isolated surprise.

Players see each event one day in advance, giving them time to prepare and adjust their plans. That advance notice creates a tense balance between anticipation and adaptation: players know what is coming, but must still decide how best to respond.

With events requiring everyone to rethink their approach, the expansion encourages players to adapt their strategy on the fly. Whether you are adding new content to your restaurant rivalry or looking for more ways to keep the competition unpredictable, Rival Restaurants: Back for Seconds brings extra variety and shared challenges to the table.
