About the game
In Hibachi: Fired Up!, you will take the role of a flamboyant chef who must throw chips into the cooking area to acquire the ingredients you need to cook delicious recipes! Target the ingredients the customers are asking for! Aim, throw, crash, and bash your chips! Sizzle the steak, steam the rice, and serve up the best dishes! Push your opponents to steal their spot! After each round of throwing is complete, money and ingredients will change hands, and if a chef is ready, they will then cook a dish to perfection. The first to complete three recipes will be the one who impresses the customers enough to win! This is a new edition of Hibachi (not an expansion), that features faster and more streamlined rules.
