About LÊN MÂM, from BoardGameGeek:
Len Mam is a card game for 2-4 players. You will become siblings, and cook the traditional Tet tray together
Summary of games
The game has 3 stages including going to the market, cooking and completing the dish. After the market closes, players will check their trays and score points. The person having the most points will win. There are 4 traditional dishes that will be cooked including bamboo shoot soup, jellied meat, square glutinous rice cake, and pickled onion. Each dish will correspond to 1 color and need 4 different ingredients to cook
To set up, each player has 5 ingredient cards, the remaining cards will be called a market deck. The turn starts with the oldest person called the eldest brother/sister. The player takes 2 cards from the market deck, chooses 1 of the 2 cards to decide what to cook in turn
Stage 1: Go to the market: You draw ingredient cards from the market deck
Stage 2: Cook: You can put 1-3 cards into the pot. You can put cards that are the same color as the dish you are cooking, or different color cards.
When you play a different color card, you will activate that card's function. However, if there are more different color cards than the number of players + 1, the pot will be destroyed and the dish cannot be completed.
Stage 3: Complete the dish: The dish can only be completed when there are 4 ingredients to cook it (not counting the number of cards). The player who plays the last card to complete the dish will take all the cards on the pot to his tray to score points at the end of the game. If there are more different color cards than the number of players + 1, the pot will be destroyed. The last player playing a different color card will not get the ingredients in the pot, the other players take the ingredient cards from the pot.
At the end of phase 3, a new turn will begin, until the deck of afternoon market cards is taken, the game ends.
Special card: Boiling water card: can be played with any color and is scored at the end of the game.
