How To Win

To become the next King or Queen of the Kitchen, you must be the first Hero to claim the Ice Crown. There are two paths to victory:

Travel across the Kitchen and retrieve the Ice Crown from the Freezer. You must land exactly on the Freezer to claim the crown. OR
Make your own Ice Crown by collecting 12 Ice Cubes.

Either way, you will have to act fast if you want to be the first to claim the crown.

Strategic Multi-Purpose Action Cards

Which cards are you sacrificing to move forward or backward, and which cards do you want to keep to improve your gameplay or Attack opponents?

How Good Is Your Aim?

Try to hit the centre of the box with your underhand throw to get bonuses added to your rolls when Attacking players or determining the outcome of an Event. Defending an Attack? Try to hit their dice to change their roll and it's box bonuses.
