How to play

Goal

Be the first player to reach 6 points. Each breakfast card is worth 0-3 points (values are hidden until you peek). Breakfast cards covered by a pigeon do not count toward your total.

Setup & turns

Play with 2-6 players around one device. Each player starts with a hidden hand of cards. On your turn:

  1. Draw 2 ingredients from the pile (once per turn).
  2. Take up to 3 actions: cook a breakfast, trade with an opponent, or play an action card.
  3. End your turn when you are done (or have no actions left).

Toggle CPU on any seat for a computer opponent. Pass the device only to human players when prompted.

Ingredients

  • 🍳 Egg
  • 🥓 Bacon
  • 🌭 Sausage
  • 🍅 Grilled Tomato
  • 🫘 Baked Beans
  • Black Pudding - wild; counts as any ingredient

Cooking a breakfast

Discard 5 different ingredients (Black Pudding is wild) to take a breakfast card from the pile. Breakfast values are hidden. Most breakfasts are worth 2 points; a few are worth 0, 1, or 3.

Trading

Select ingredient cards from your hand, then broadcast a trade offer: say which ingredient types (and how many) you want back. Interested players respond, then you pick who to trade with. A successful trade costs one action.

Action cards

  • Pigeon Place a pigeon on an opponent's breakfast card. That breakfast no longer counts.
  • Grocer Draw 2 extra cards from the pile.
  • Waste Collector Take the last 2 discarded ingredient cards.
  • Sandwich Maker Use 3 ingredients to make a breakfast. Black Pudding is wild.
  • Feed The Birds Move a pigeon from one breakfast card to another.
  • Shoplifter Steal 1 random card from every other player.
  • Cat Remove a pigeon from a breakfast card.
  • Health Inspector Look at an opponent's hand and discard any 2 cards.
  • Late Night Out Choose an opponent. They miss their next turn.
