Moskito A la carte (1989) (used) (Made in 2006) + A la carte: Dessert (2010) (used)

A la carte -

In one of his sillier games, Karl-Heinz Schmiel casts the players as semi-psychotic cooks attempting to hone their culinary skills. Each player receives a miniature pan and a hotplate. Then each turn you can either attempt to turn up the heat, season your dish, or attempt to steal another cook's recipe in the making. Heating your hotplate is a random affair with a die, and could raise the heat on everyone's plate. Spicing the dish is heart of the game and done by up-ending small bottles filled with little colored wood pellets. When the pellets tumble out of the bottle (sometimes, if they do), the number of pellets can't exceed two, because over-spicing the dish ruins it and you have to throw it in the trash!

A la carte: Dessert-

An expansion for A la carte that introduces new gourmet desserts for avid gamers including Spice Dice, Salty Dogs or the fiery Pomitos Frititos.

This expansion contains 4 mini expansions for A la carte and the components necessary to add a fifth player.

• Menus

Before the game starts each player receives 3 menus and chooses one. He doesn't let the other players know which menus he/she has. If a player successfully prepares the dishes on the menu, at the end of the game he/she receive extra victory points. Otherwise he/she gets no extra points. For some of the menus the player also needs at least one star.

• New Coffee Cups

Two new coffee cups are added to the game
- Trash can: Instead of choosing a dish from the table, a player can choose a dish from the trash can and place the dish in his/her pan.
- Flavor neutralizer: The player chooses a spice (even salt) from his/her pan and removes it from the game.

• Salt Dishes

There are 5 different salt dishes. The salt dishes are placed along the other dishes. The dishes are cooked as normal, only salt is needed.

• Spice Mixing

This is a new spice bottle that has 5 grains of each of the 4 different spices inside (for a total of 20). There is no salt in this bottle. A player can choose this bottle to add spices to his/her dish.
