In this delicious card game, the players are pizza makers. The players take orders from the waiters and ingredients from the supply. They put them all together in the oven and bake.

When all the ingredients are used up, the players open the oven to discover which pizzas were baked properly, and which were not. The players take back their orders for their improperly baked pizzas so they can try again in the next round.

This is the 2nd addition to Dominion. It adds 26 new Kingdom cards to Dominion. Its central theme is your next turn; there are cards that do something this turn and next, cards that set up your next turn, and other ways to step outside of the bounds of a normal turn.

It is designed to work with either or both of these sets, and any future expansions that may be published. …

Playing for Second, Third, etc

Prior to the game, players may decide to play until there are two or more winners. In this case, the winner does not reveal the missing gem.

Instead, they replace the missing gem and announce that they were correct. The game continues with the winner answering any interrogations but not otherwise participating in the game.

Additional Missing Gems

When three or four play, the game can be made more challenging by removing two (or three) Gem Cards. The play of the game is the same except that, to win, a player must correctly identify all missing gems. …

Let's look at a sample round of play using the Beast Master, Wizard, Ranger and Rogue. The Unhallowed has been drawn and placed face-down in the Horde. They reveal the first location Snowy Pass.

Each Adventurer has randomly selected a card to exhaust. They have decided to roll a d8 to set the starting firewood and roll a 4. They set their firewood to 4 which means they can only reveal one Creature in line at a time (not great).

Next the players roll their dice: Ranger rolls 6,3,1 Beast Master: 8,6,3 Wizard: 4,4,1 Rogue: 4,3,1. The Snowy Pass states that players must place their lowest die on the Location card and cannot use it this round. The Rogue gives up her 1 die roll as it is one of the lowest rolls. …
