Objective

In Back of House, you are in charge of the kitchen in a busy restaurant. Receive orders and assign your cooks to prepare and send out dishes. Keep your kitchen clean to ensure your orders go out. Make it to the end of the night without losing too many customers and you win. Make too many mistakes and you may end up losing all your staff.

Overview

In Back of House, a single player rolls and assigns dice to various roles in a kitchen. Orders are fulfilled based on the dice you’ve assigned. Each turn, the kitchen gets a little dirtier, and if you don’t set aside staff to tend to this, it leads to items lost and fewer dished completed. Event cards take staff (dice) out of play for a turn, or demand your immediate completion of extra items.
