Wok and Roll
Players develop menus and cook dishes by drafting results from a shared pool of six dice each round. The active player rolls all six dice and locks chosen faces, while other players may use the four white dice to form their own ingredient sets. Points come from assembling recipes, triggering special abilities on dice, and chaining combos to score efficiently. The game includes two menu variants, Simple and Expert, which change available recipes and strategic options.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
How many times can I reroll when I go to the market — and can I reroll dice I've already set aside?
You get up to 2 re-rolls for a total of 3 rolls and you may re-roll any dice, including ones you previously set aside; after the third roll the dice are locked in (page 1).
What's the difference between the starting player's bonus reroll and what other players can reroll?
As a bonus for going to the market the starting player may reroll 1 die of any color (red or white), while each other player may only reroll 1 white die (page 1).
If I take ingredients from the wok into my Fridge, can I use them immediately to cook that same round?
Yes — ingredients taken from the wok can be placed in your Fridge and used to cook during the same market round, and when you cross off a Fridge ingredient it is removed from the common supply until the next market (page 1).
Are Recipe Books single-use, and can they count as ingredients right away?
Recipe Books are single-use (you use the whole recipe once), but you can gain a Specialty Skill to convert Recipe Books into the listed ingredient and that conversion applies immediately (even the same turn); gaining a Specialty Skill costs one bonus action (page 1).
Do I have to cross off dish servings in strict order or can I pick servings freely?
Most dish servings must be crossed off from top to bottom, but dish platters (e.g., Meat, Vegetable, Seafood platters) may have their servings crossed off in any order and completing a platter gives bonus taste points (page 1).
How and when does the game end, and what happens in a tie?
The game ends on the turn when at least one player has completed any combination of 3 dishes (House Specials don't count); score normally and in a tie the player first clockwise from the starting player wins (page 2).
