How to play? 

Getting Started

• The game is suitable for 2 to 4 players and recommended for ages 5 and above.
• It's a quick game, with an average playtime of around 20 minutes.
• The game includes a board depicting a kitchen, a die with cutlery symbols, another die with a cook symbol, a tiny cockroach figurine, and player pieces.

Objective

• As the cockroach, your goal is to reach all four designated food spaces on the board and then crawl into the hole in the kitchen floor.

Gameplay

1. Setup: Place the game board on a flat surface. Each player chooses a colored playing piece and places it on the starting space. The cockroach figurine is placed on any starting space.
2. Taking Turns: Players take turns in a clockwise direction. On your turn, you'll roll the cutlery die twice.

• Cutlery Die: This die has symbols for different utensils like a fork, spoon, or knife.
• First Roll: Based on the symbol rolled, you move the cockroach the corresponding number of spaces (either 2 or 3) on the board. You can also turn a specific utensil on the board (indicated by the symbol) before, during, or after the move. Rotating these utensils can create paths or block the cockroach's movement.
• Second Roll: Roll the cutlery die again and move the cockroach accordingly.

3. Cook Die: After your second move with the cockroach (and on subsequent turns), another player rolls the cook die. If the cook symbol shows up, your turn ends, and play passes to the next player.

4. Reaching Your Goal: If the cockroach lands on one of your designated food spaces, that space is marked as complete. Your goal is to reach all four food spaces.

5. Winning the Game: The first player to reach all four food spaces and then move the cockroach into the hole in the kitchen floor wins the game!
