How to Play:
                     All players roll a 6-sided dice to move and they may trade their ingredients or recipe with another player for once each turn. During the game, all players have to reveal what ingredients and recipe they have to all other players. When players have successfully collect all require ingredients for a recipe in their hands, they can exchange them for a main dish in the super market block, the red block. When players have successfully collect all the main dishes' recipes of one culture, they can return all their recipes and main dishes and exchange them for a culture card immediately. In order to collect ingredients and recipes, players have to land on special block.

Core Idea:
                    This time we have to come up a collection board and we got the idea down pretty quick. The only we need to come up is the theme of the game, which is what the players have to collect. We think of using Alien, but we are looking for some theme that has variety of option for players to choose. At the end, we come up with this idea, which is "Be the Master Chef". It is pretty self-explanatory as the objective of the game is to be superior than other players by collecting different ingredients and dishes from different cultures. This way, players have lots and lots of things to collect depends on what they like or which is easier to collect. So it would be fun to play.
