Dire Dinner

2023·Danny DeCillis

1 - 4 players
45 - 90 min

From BoardGameGeek

In Dire Dinner, players take on the roles of randomly selected minions forced to prepare a six-course feast for their monstrous overlord, Gurth the Odious. It's a cooperative tile-laying game where players have to assemble color-coordinated dishes each round, made with ingredients that often have a multi-step preparation process. There are a hundred unique, bizarre ingredients, unique skills and abilities for each player character, and a kitchen where anything may happen to amuse Gurth - or make him angrier. The goal is to keep Gurth's mood score high enough by the end of the game so he doesn't eat the players. -description from the publisher
