The Game

SMORGASBOARD® is the fun new board game for foodies, friends, and family alike. Players take on the guise of aspiring chefs as they work their way around the board in search of gastronomic success. The object of the game is to be the first team of chefs to graduate from Rick's Culinary Academy! The losers... do the dishes!

Created and designed by Richard Kelly and Maggie Leonard, the game has been illustrated by award winning designer, Steve Simpson, whose work has exhibited in London, LA and New York.  To view his portfolio, please visit stevesimpson.com.  SMORGASBOARD® is manufactured at Hasbro Ireland in Co. Waterford and proudly carries the 'Guaranteed Irish' logo.

Divided into teams of two or more players, teams choose a chef token to represent them on the board; Mister Broc, Señor Gamba, Monsieur Fromage, or Les Champs. All teams start at the space marked 'Start'. Play moves along the figure eight path towards 'Rick's Culinary Academy'.

 

To successfully graduate from Rick's Culinary Academy, teams must answer questions and complete activities from the following food related categories:

4BIDDEN-FRUIT™: To win this category, your team must correctly guess the food related word by selecting a member of your team to describe the word, in the time allowed, without using the word itself or the '4' forbidden words.

KITCHEN-KAOS™: To win this category, your team must correctly identify the food related word in the 'Word Jumble' anagram, correctly identify the 'Missing Ingredient' in the classic recipe, or correctly identify the 'Spoiler' that would spoil the classic recipe, in the time allowed.

NUÜDLE-DOODLE™: To win this category, your team must correctly guess the food related word by selecting a member of your team to draw the word on the paper provided in the time allowed. However, once the pencil touches the paper, they may not lift it again until your team has correctly guessed the food related word or the time has elapsed. Prepare for noodle shaped drawings!

TASTO-QUEST™: To win this category, your team must correctly answer the 'General Knowledge', 'True or False', or 'Multiple Choice' question in the time allowed.
