About the game

What is Fold-it?

The race is on to find out who’s the best chef in town, and only the cook with the fastest hands and the cleverest plan will win! Your goal in Fold-it! is to cook recipes the fastest, based on the order cards. When an order card is revealed, everyone starts cooking at the same time. In order to cook the order, each player takes their individual recipe cloth and folds it so that it shows only the items displayed on the order card. The round ends once all players have finished their order, and if you made the order incorrectly or were the last to finish, you have to give up a star token. If you lose all three of your stars, you're out of the game. Once only one player is left with a star token, they’ve won the game!
