Review: We Will Wok You
Posted by James (admin) on 19th June 2013
We Will Wok You is a quick card-game for 2-4 players. The theme is that the players are providing food at a music concert. On the table are recipe cards and ingredient cards. Each ingredient card shows one ingredient as well as one or two symbols (bowl, chopsticks, etc.) Recipe cards show how the player that owns the card can score victory points (VPs) at the end of the game and the player with the most VPs wins.
At the start of the game, 4 coin cards are placed next to 2 rows of 2 ingredient cards, and 6 coin cards are placed next to 2 rows of 3 ingredient cards – the coins indicate the price of the rows that they are next to. On their turn, a player must do one of three actions:
Buy ingredients: The player pays coins equal to the number of coins next to the row purchased. New ingredient cards are drawn to replace the bought row and the spent coins are added to the price. As a result, buying a row of ingredients raises the price of the ones that replace those bought as well as the other row of the same length.
Take a coin: The player takes one of the coin cards that show the prices of the ingredients. Taking a coin means some ingredients will be cheaper for the next players.
Gain a recipe card: The player places cards from their hand onto the table which have a total of 4 matching symbols (the ingredients on the cards are not important for this) and this allows the player to take any one of the remaining recipe cards. Read the rest of this entry »
