The Great Chili Cookoff 2006

Players try to take tricks to capture the ingredients necessary to complete their secret recipe. Taking a trick requires playing a high card, but if cards are tied, the player who played that value last gets the trick--so there is a HUGE disadvantage in going first.

From the back of the box:

The great chefs come from around the world for just this competition. Are they making strudel, Peking duck, or chicken almandine? Heck no! This is REAL food, food ol' fashioned American cookin' from the heartland. These cooks are here to make some stuff that sticks to your ribs and gives a nice warm feeling to everyone involved, so it's time to see what you can do...it's time for...

THE GREAT CHILI COOKOFF!

The Great Chili Cookoff is a trick-taking card game where players seek to finish secret recipes by capturing tricks (ingredients) played by other players. The catch is, sometimes players have to take ingredients they don't need which can set off a chain reaction that destroys EVERYONE'S secret recipes!.
