About this game

In Ramen Rush, players are rival chefs competing to cook the best ramen dishes using limited shared ingredients. Each round, everyone secretly bids coins to claim ingredients, bluffing, denying opponents, and negotiating deals along the way. After bidding, players cook simultaneously, managing ingredients, buying sauces, and pushing their luck with the cooking die to complete ramen recipes. Finished bowls score points and grant optional one-time abilities. The game ends when a chef cooks their fifth bowl, giving everyone one final turn. Smart timing and clever spending matter just as much as great cooking. —description from the designer
