'''Objective'''

Act as a pastry chef collecting spice cards and matching them to recipe cards to earn victory points.

Each player gets a stack of recipe cards and a stack of ingredient/spice cards.Keep honey tokens nearby as a general pool.

'''How to Play'''

The game takes place over two rounds, with all players acting simultaneously.

Drafting Recipes: Pick one recipe card from your hand or stack to add to your personal grid, then pass the remaining cards to the next player (clockwise in round one, counter-clockwise in round two).

Drafting Spices: Take the ingredient stack, select your spices (either one double-spice card or two single-spice cards) to place into your grid, and pass the rest.

Using Honey: Instead of a regular spice, you can select honey cards to claim a honey token, which acts as a wild card and scores diagonally on a recipe.

Building the Tableau: Place cards adjacent to your existing grid layout to fulfill the specific matching conditions shown on your recipes.

'''Winning the Game'''

After two full rounds, players tally up their points based on how successfully their adjacent spices match the conditions on their recipe cards. The player with the highest total score wins.

DigitCode Strategy Tips

1. Take Notes – Games are often decided by a single turn. Detailed notes can make the difference.

2. Save Frequently – Unsaved notes are lost if you refresh the page. Save often to avoid losing progress.

3. Track Mutual Links & Exclusions – If all remaining options share a link (or exclusion), note it. These patterns are crucial.

4. Ask Redundant Questions Strategically – Near the end, ask for clues you already know to avoid giving your opponent new information.

5. Take Educated Guesses – You get two tries. If it’s a 50/50, go for it!
