Zero Waste Chef Cardgame (2021)

With this card game, Food Circle aims to bring the value back to food, and for that reason, if you waste food in the game, you lose points. Each player represents a food organisation, and needs to create meals out of the ingredients they receive. They can also freeze, dehydrate or pickle some ingredients, to save them to use in another moment in the game. For meals they get points. Each player starts with 1 preservation card, receives ingredient cards on their turn, and can use any recipe. The recipes are open in the middle of the table for everyone to see what they can make. As chefs, your goal is to collect and trade ingredients to make as many meals with as little food waste as possible. Remember to be strategic: ingredients without a recipe will spoil, and you’ll lose points! The winner is the player with most points and is declared to be the Zero Waste Chef!
