Become a waiter in a restaurant. With your ambition you will quickly become "chief of rank". So let your colleagues serve the dish of the day in your place while you earn the service money from the best menus. You will have to work with your elbows and a few tables will give you a pleasant surprise. The game board represents a restaurant with 60 tables with the parlor area in the middle of the board. During preparation, a face down card is placed on each table. This shows a daily special (without points), a menu (100 to 600 points) or a special movement card. In the first phase of the game, the players collect as many cards as possible, hoping to get especially interesting orders. All players mark their tables during this removal with a pawn of their own color. If they happen to find a table with a dish of the day, they try it by means of a. pass a trade to a player of your choice. The order of going over the tables is especially ingenious. Starting with a table on the edge, an adjacent (horizontally or vertically) adjacent table must always be ordered. As soon as this system breaks down and at least 30 cards have been removed, the order phase ends. Each player now sums up all of their taken orders. These are the maximum points each player can earn. The player with the lowest score becomes the start player of the second phase. In this second phase, the orders taken are passed as quickly as possible: each player places a card back on a table of their own color, after which the next player has to serve an adjacent table. Some nice placement rules make the whole thing quite tactical. For example, expensive menus can only be served in the salon and the cheaper menus are outside. It is therefore always a question of reaching your own tables and avoiding the tables of the other players. The collected movement cards are very useful in this second phase. As soon as someone was able to put all their hand cards back on the board or nobody can perform another operation because the replacement got stuck, the game ends. All listed point values on the remaining cards in the hand count negatively. Whoever has the most points in the end wins. Some special reservation cards make it even more exciting. Only a waiter who can properly estimate how many tables he will be able to effectively serve in the second round has a chance of success. Fun and original game!
