Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- bin token and bin actions — Once per bake you may set aside any number of cards (bin) instead of adding to your bake; when you bin, you flip the bin token and cannot use those cards while it is active.
- Deck Manipulation — On your turn you flip the top card of your bake deck and either add it to your bake or discard it to a discard pile; you draw a new card after each action, and you can also draw the top card from any discard pile.
- draw from bake deck and place/add to bake or discard — On your turn you flip the top card of your bake deck and either add it to your bake or discard it to a discard pile; you draw a new card after each action, and you can also draw the top card from any discard pile.
- layout adjacency rule — New cards added to your bake must touch an existing card (not diagonally) to reflect a connected pattern.
- Recipe — Recipes specify required elements and optional dashed outlines; you earn scoring tokens (soggy bottom, great bake, Hollywood handshake) by meeting their requirements.
- recipe reading and scoring tokens — Recipes specify required elements and optional dashed outlines; you earn scoring tokens (soggy bottom, great bake, Hollywood handshake) by meeting their requirements.
- three-round structure and final showstopper — The game unfolds over three rounds with a final showstopper round; rounds end with token scoring and restarts with updated recipes.
- times three recipe requirement — Some recipes show a times three symbol, requiring you to complete that recipe three times to score.
- wild cards and center stock — Wild cards available at the center can be taken and must be played into your bake; they help you fetch needed cards quickly.
