Sometimes a chef runs out of an ingredient, but being resourceful, you have decided to substitute tofu for the required ingredient. With the Menu Masters: Tofu mini-expansion in play, when completing a menu card, a tofu card can substitute for any ingredient of the same type.
Menu Masters: Tofu supports 2–6 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 Menu Masters: Tofu is 20–40 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 Menu Masters: Tofu 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.
Menu Masters: Tofu belongs to these categories: Card Game and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Set Collection and Worker Placement.
