Time to see what kind of chef you could be, so don your toque and get to the kitchen! Each round in Et Toque!, players receive an erasable magnetic board, a marker and a dozen magnetic tiles, each showing a random ingredient. Then they secretly receive a menu theme card showing the dinner for which they must prepare: a feast for vampires, dinner in the savannah, a meal for hippies... They must use at least four of their tiles to create a meal plan, which can consist of any number of dishes. With the marker they can add connecting words to embellish their dishes, but they cannot write nouns or adjectives. Use the ingredients given to you! Once all players have composed their menus, the theme cards are collected, shuffled, then laid out on the table. All players reveal their menus, then everyone votes on which menu corresponds with which theme. Bon appétit!
Et Toque! supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Et Toque! is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Et Toque! for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Et Toque! has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
