Description Edit | History

You are starving. You are in the middle of Chinatown and only one restaurant is open. Oh no! The menu is written only in Chinese. You only know 5 Chinese characters, one for each meal type (beef, chicken, lamb, fish and vegetables). For each meal type, you are hesitating between two Chinese characters. You will have to try to order using your very limited knowledge of the language. The waiter, slightly confused, will bring you what he thinks the majority wants. The player who successfully orders the most meals will score the most points and win.
The players will do this by predicting which meal type is the most abundant in a common pile of Meal cards. To help them, they will be able to add Meal cards to the pile. However, the more cards they add to the pile, the less prediction they will be allowed to make. To win, a player will have to balance memory, risk-taking and bluffing.

The game is made of 110 cards.

11 UpdatedGraphicsPNP
Updated graphics for the cards. No change to the rules. The symbols for all cards are now in the corner to make them viewable while holding the cards. Just print the file without any page scaling and cut along the edge of the cards. Odd pages are for the front of the cards. Even pages are for the back of the cards of the preceeding page. Sleeve together the front and the back of a card.
