Grab matching pasta shapes from the grid to make tasty sets in this simple, yet strategic card game! On their turn, a player can either collect card(s) from the grid or bank 1-7 matching cards from their hand. As no one starts the game with cards, everyone must collect from the grid on their first turn. Collect card(s) from the row and column that the chef's hat is on. If there are multiple matching cards, you get to take all of them (as long as it doesn't take you over 7 cards in your hand!). Draw new cards to replace the card(s) you collect, and move the chef's hat token to a newly placed card. All cards, apart from the card underneath the chef's hat, are face up. Instead of selecting the available face up cards, players can choose to take the mystery face down card underneath the chef's hat. Collect the biggest sets, while cunningly moving the chef's hat to stop other players grabbing the pasta they want. Create the same set as another player and you can shout "Pass the Pasta" and steal one of their cards... but be careful not to lose points by making things too al dente! Whenever you bank less than 3 cards, you must take the al dente token and place it in front of you. The game ends as soon as the draw pile runs out. Each banked card is worth 1 point at the end of the game. The player with the al dente token must minus 2 points from their score. Whoever has the most points, wins! -description from publisher
