Culinary alchemists forage for rare ingredients, brew elixirs, and bake miraculous cakes to heal desperate adventurers for the most reputation.

Gameplay

Across six rounds, you bid for turn order, draft options, roll dice to gather ingredients, and play cards to complete healing requests and score reputation. The tension is choosing when to spend scarce resources for big heals versus saving for objectives your rivals might claim first.
