Don't Botch the Broccoli

Don't Botch the Broccoli

2025·Mark McGee

5 - 10 min

From BoardGameGeek

Steaming broccoli isn't as easy as it looks! Time it just right and cook up a perfect place of green goodness. Just be careful that you don't botch the broccoli and have to start all over! In Don't Botch the Broccoli, players have an identical hand of broccoli cards numbered -1 to 4 and simultaneously play one card each turn. Any players who played the same number on their broccoli card move their card to their steamer. Then whichever player played the lowest remaining card gets to cook their broccoli (move the card to their score pile), along with any cards in their steamer from previous turns. Any other players' cards are botched, and must return to their hand along with any cards in their steamer. To win, you've got to find the right time to play each card so that you can cook up a big pile of broccoli. -description from the publisher
