About the game
Trick or treat? Why not both?! With themed Recipe and Event cards, as well as new gameplay rules, the Halloween Trick or Treats Expansion will surely sweeten your plays of Sweet Mess! These spooktacular desserts, when baked, will provide you with a Trick or Treat Token. These tokens can be saved and if you get a set, you will be treated with endgame points. Or you can trick another chef out of an ingredient of your choosing, but you have to give them the Trick or Trick Token in return. They of course can work toward sets or, in turn, use it on another chef! Choose to play with this optional module, but be careful. Some chefs just may be out to get you. Muahahahahaaa! —decription from the publisher
