Description

The Great Chili Cookoff is a spicy twist on traditional card games, where 2 to 7 players compete to create the perfect recipe. In this fast-paced game, you'll need to take tricks to capture the ingredients necessary to complete your secret recipe. But be warned, taking a trick isn't just about playing the highest card - if cards are tied, the player who played that value last gets the trick, putting the first player at a huge disadvantage.

With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 30 minutes, The Great Chili Cookoff is the perfect game for a quick gathering with friends or family. Designed by Dan Baden and first published in 2006, this game has been delighting players for years with its unique blend of trick-taking and recipe-building. As a base game, it's a great introduction to the world of card games, and its simple yet engaging mechanics make it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. So gather your friends, get ready to cook up some fun, and see who will be crowned the ultimate chili champion in The Great Chili Cookoff.
