{"product_id":"a-la-carte-44","title":"A La Carte - $44","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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!\n\u003c\/p\u003eThe 2009 version includes some changed rules, a new victory condition, additional recipes and some new mechanics in comparison to the 1989 version.","brand":"The Printed Meeple","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42892778963029,"sku":null,"price":40.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/9113\/0709\/files\/pic599251.jpg?v=1788485864","url":"https:\/\/theprintedmeeple.com\/products\/a-la-carte-44","provider":"The Printed Meeple","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
