LICENSE TO GRILL

Number of Players: 3-5

A tetromino placement game for 3-5 players, License to Grill is about would-be grillmasters competing with each other for limited space on the cookout's only grill. The best cooked-recipes will score points towards victory, but watch out! Players can run out of space on the grill to place their complicated meats, veggies, and dishes, and another cook adjusting the temperature may spell disaster for their dish. Food goes from the fridge to the grill to the tablecloth, and can be altered for bonus points- or lose out on points- each step of the way.

How to Play

First, gather 3-5 grillers to get heated! Then, you begin the game by selecting a recipe and placing it in your prep area. If you don’t get that on the grill before it spoils, it goes straight into the trash! Now you can only take one of three following actions: start another recipe, season one of your recipes, or place something on the grill. Hey, everyone has to have their turn!

Only when you place something on the grill do you get to turn up the heat. Or down! Whatever you need to get your recipe as perfect as possible. Or possibly overcook someone else’s recipe!

Now you just have to cook your heart out! Make the best food you can! Keep your opponents off the board with the most cumbersome of recipes. The food you’re preparing is the only food that matters, after all. 

The first to four completed recipes triggers the end of the game — the sun is starting to set and the block party is nearly over! Get your food onto that picnic table before time runs out.

The griller with the most points across all their completed recipes wins! But don’t forget all the friends and food we made along the way!
