Releasing this summer is a new and interesting looking cooperative culinary game from Artipia Games and Stronghold Games. In Kitchen Rush, you’ve inherited a run down restaurant and you’ll team up with friends to create dishes in order to please customers while also aiming at improving the bottom line. The game is for one to four players, ages 12+, plays in under 30 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $69.95 when it arrives in Q3.
From Stronghold:
You’ve just inherited an old restaurant, and you must turn it into a successful business! Hire personnel, order the right ingredients, and be ready to serve the customers that enter your restaurant. The success will depend entirely on your efficiency in the kitchen!
Kitchen Rush is an innovative, real-time, cooperative game that simulates the excitement of a high-pressure kitchen environment. It does so through worker placement, using hourglasses as your workers. These hourglasses are used to take orders from customers, prepare their dishes, serve them on time, buy groceries, clean plates, and make sure enough money is made each round to cover wages, expenses, upgrades, and hopefully leave a profit. Any worker placed on an action space may not be used elsewhere before the sand within the hourglass runs out, making each decision important, as time is limited.
The game is for 1–4 players and plays for 4 rounds of 4 minutes. The fun, excitement, and rush it brings to the table offers a full course for gamers and family members alike.
