About Secret Recipes, from BoardGameGeek:
Secret Recipes is a game for kids, families, and adults ages 9+. The game is a fun, family-friendly baking-themed card game where players compete to complete delicious recipes and score Cake Points. Secret Recipes is a lively and strategic card game where players compete to become the ultimate master baker by collecting ingredients and completing recipes. The game challenges players to gather the right ingredients to bake Cakes and Cupcakes while using their character's unique abilities to gain an edge. Players take turns asking each other for specific ingredients, diving into the pantry to discover new cards, and revealing secret recipes in their play area. But there's a twist! Once a recipe is revealed, it becomes vulnerable to other players who can steal it by adding the missing ingredients from their hand. With multiple strategies to victory-whether it's cleverly holding onto cards, strategically revealing recipes, or seizing opportunities to steal points from opponents-Secret Recipes keeps everyone on their toes.
Each turn has 3 phases:
Action Phase
Play Phase
Discard Phase
During the play phase, a player chooses between three possible actions: Ask for Ingredients, Deep Dive in the Pantry, or Pick up a New Recipe.
Ending the Game:
Once one player scores 12 or more cake points, each player takes one more turn, including the player who reached 12 points first. For players who want a longer game, they can play until the face-down Ingredient Deck is empty.
