Hibachi Fired Up! Dexterity Board Game

About this product

Aim, throw and cook your way to hibachi glory.

A fast, hands-on cooking contest for 2–4 players.

Throw chips onto ingredients, manage your money and be the first chef to complete three recipes.

Product Description

Step up to the grill for a lively cooking contest where careful aim can be just as important as clever planning.

Take turns throwing your numbered chips onto the cooking area, targeting the ingredients needed for your recipes. Chips may knock rival chefs out of position, change ingredient prices or land on useful action spaces.

Once every chef has finished throwing, reveal the chip values and decide how to use them. Buy ingredients, sell them for extra Yen, earn tips, reserve recipes or begin cooking. The first chef to complete three recipes wins the contest.
