Test Kitchen
A downloadable fine dining experience
Welcome to Test Kitchen, a frantic party RPG Illuminated by the Lumen system, loosely based on restaurant-themed time-management co-op games, like the Overcooked series.

Test Kitchen is an RPG where you play as a kitchen crew in a stressful environment. It cleverly turns the action-packed Lumen system into a time management cooking simulator. Will you be able to serve all dishes before chaos takes over?
Hey this rocks, thank you!
Any chance we could get the Print N Play in 8.5x11? I'm having trouble figuring out how to print the 8.5x22 sheets as double-sided pages.
Oh! Short answer is, I think I've learned just enough to whip this together quickly. Next time I'm in the kitchen (which is apparently what I'm calling the computer I have Affinity on), I'll see what I can do!
Just updated the files. I'd always meant for that to be the actual format, but didn't really know what I needed to do to make it so.
That said, keep me posted if it prints weird and I'll see if I need to do more.
Sweet! Thank you! The vertical lines are off by about an eighth of an inch but it looks like the PDF is fine so I'm pretty sure my printer just isn't accurate in that direction, grr. It's still close enough to work.
I'm not sure if I missed it, but is there a minimum or maximum suggested number of players for this game?
I may have just forgotten to include it... I would say 3-5 players, that's what the system is designed to work with.
That said, I haven't tried playing with more than four chefs, or as a two-chef, GMless experience (with someone pulling double-duty as the head cook). I could see it working, although you may need to make some menu adjustments so you don't lose too much of the chaos.
thank you so much!
