It seems way to simple at first ...but after a game or two, it becomes apparent that theres a sophisticated strategy based on an aweseome food group - COOKIES!!
Cookie Chaos is a Euro-style tile laying game. Beginning with the start tile, players choose a tile and add to the "wild start" tile. Match 1 cookie, then collect 1 cookie. Match 2, then collect 2, match 3 then collect 3. There are symbols on the tiles that active actions when you match a cookie, such as: crumble - to send another players cookies back to the tray. Burn - to send everyone's cookies back to the tray. Rolling Pin - to steal another players cookies. Cookies can be protected by using your oven mitt. Players earn their oven mitt by collecting one of each cookie variety. Once earned, place on a single stack/variety to protect them. However, the stack is frozen as well, you cannot collect that variety! Oven mitts can be moved following the game rules, and other players mitts can be moved by drawing a tile with an oven mitt symbol and matching at least one cookie.
It's an ever changing scramble of matching, collecting, stealing and protecting.
The game ends once the last tile has been drawn, played and scored.
The player with the most cookies wins.
