What to Expect

In 13 Chefs, two players try to guess each other’s secret character card before their own is revealed. On each turn, a player can either play a card face-up to use its ability or play a card face-down to guess the opponent’s character. The first to win three rounds wins the game. The game is fast-paced and involves careful observation and deduction.

Who Is This Game For?

13 Chefs is designed for two players aged 8 and up who want a short deduction game. It’s an accessible game with simple rules and about 10 minutes playtime, suitable for casual and beginner players alike.

How It Works

Players alternate turns playing cards to gain information or guess the opponent’s secret character. Each card has abilities that can be used openly to gather clues or affect the opponent. The aim is to guess the opponent’s character before they guess yours. Winning three rounds decides the match.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Victor Amanatidis, 13 Chefs is a standalone microgame focused on deduction for two players. It shares a setting with Kitchen Rush but stands alone with simple gameplay. While it has no awards, its quick rounds and direct player interaction distinguish it.
