Feuer & Flamme is a simple game of skill by game designers Stefan Dorra and Manfred Reindl , which was released in 2013 at HUCH! & friends appeared. It is a game for one to five players in which the other players have to stack wooden grilled food on a grill with the help of grill tongs without them falling down. Its game mechanics are similar to the Bausack game by Klaus Zoch .

The game was published together with a recipe booklet by the German chef Johann Lafer and was awarded a special prize in 2013 at the Austrian game award Spiel der Spiele .

Game style and game material

At Fire & Flame , all players try to stack wooden grilled food on a grill with the help of grill tongs and according to specifications on appropriate order cards without it falling down. The game material consists of the game instructions

  • 18 grilled parts (two peppers, steaks and fish each and three corn on the cob, mushrooms, eggplant and sausage each)
  • a grill consisting of a grill and a foot,
  • grill tongs,
  • 18 grill cards,
  • 15 bonus cards (5 of each of three different types) and
  • 15 grill chips in five colors.

Game flow

At the beginning of the game, the built-up grill, the grill parts and the grill tongs are placed in the middle. Each player chooses a color and receives the corresponding grill chips and three different bonus cards. The grill cards are shuffled and placed face down next to the grill.

Grill parts on the grill

Starting with a starting player, the players play clockwise. At the beginning of his turn, each player reveals the top grill card and then tries to place the food shown on the grill using the grill tongs. The food to be grilled may only be gripped with tongs and placed as desired, but parts that are already on the grill may also be rearranged with the tongs. If there is no longer any part of the food shown on the card, the player does not have to put any down and passes the grill tongs on. Then the next player begins his round. As soon as the food to be grilled is on the grill, neither this nor any other item may fall down. If one or more parts fall off the grill, the player must hand in the corresponding number of grill chips. As soon as a player runs out of grill chips, he is eliminated from the current round. If the grill falls over or all parts fall down, the player is also eliminated.

If a player reveals a card that he does not want to or cannot fulfill, he may play one of his bonus cards and take the appropriate action:

  • Break: The player passes the grill tongs and the next player must fulfill the grill card that has already been revealed,
  • Apprentice: When placing on the grill, up to two parts may fall without the player having to give up a chip, or
  • Cooking !: Before placing it on the grill, up to two parts can be removed from the grill with the grill tongs.

Each player may only play each bonus card once, after which it is removed from the game.

The game ends when only one player has grill chips left, or one player manages to put the last food in stock on the grill without grilling parts falling off. In the first case, the player who still has chips wins, in the second case, the player who put the piece down wins.
