Ramen! Ramen!

About this board game

Ramen! Ramen! is a 30-minute game for 1-4 players about crafting and serving the most delicious, highest-scoring bowls of ramen.

You have landed a spot on the line at one of the world’s best ramen shops, a cozy three-seat where every bowl needs to be worth the wait. As fellow line cooks, you compete for the day’s tips by serving the most—and the best—ramen bowls.

On each turn, players add ingredients to ramen bowls waiting to be served. The goal is to build each bowl’s highest possible point count before serving, while carefully watching for opportunities to protect your score and interfere with an opponent.

• Add ingredients to bowls waiting to be served.
• Build valuable ramen combinations before scoring them.
• Use soup-subversion to avoid giving an opponent the chance to steal points.
• Finish the remaining bowls when the draw pile is empty.

The timing of each serving matters. A bowl may be ready to score, but serving too soon could give your opponent an opening, while waiting too long can leave you scrambling at the end. Every ingredient added shapes the competition between careful preparation and opportunistic play.

When the draw pile runs out, players rush to finish their bowls. After all the ramen has been completed, everyone counts their points to determine who proved to be the best ramen chef.

With its focused kitchen theme, direct competition, and push to maximize every bowl, Ramen! Ramen! turns ingredient placement into a fast contest for the biggest and best haul of tips.
