food resources: When/why would you use the counting system on the board rather than just taking the appropriate amount of "chips"?

That is the kitchen counter. If you put a meeple on the kitchen you go up one on the kitchen counter. You subtract this number from the amount of food you need to pay at the end of each turn.

You really would have to use the bisquettes. To use your own, you would have to open the door and place the chips directly onto the hot end of the feeder. The heat loss from opening the door would not be worth it and you really only have a space of maybe 3" by 5" that is heating the wood. And it is flat so you could not pile many chips there. In theory,if only smoking for a short while, you could pile chips up and settle for maybe an hour of smoke. If you keep opening the door, it takes a while to return to 225 so you'd be screwing up the cooking times.

That is NOT correct. The lid has a small hatch which you can open to add ingredients like nuts and chips, but it is small, so the pieces need to be small or added just a few pieces at a time.

Red has fewer chips because it's the color the third person or team will use. When all three colors are in play you do not need as many pieces to fillup the whole board. Blue and green for games of two players or teams. Blue, green, and red for games of three players or teams.

It is meant to be a fast-paced game and I think more than 5 would be a detriment. You would definitely need to supplement the chips with something so that you don't run out. I would suggest buying two sets if you think you will be playing with more than 5 on a regular basis. But as a best option, I would limit the number to 5 as I think the game would run long and possibly become boring with more than 5.

been a good while since i had it. I didn't use it much honestly. It got rusty so bad in a short time that I just threw it away . I just went back using the old conventional put chips in some aluminum foil.There are other one out there but i haven't tried them.

I think it is 2, I put in a fruit salsa and placed on a plate with some chip on the side. they are cute, but don't hold much

The majority of foods have points plus values on WW. They are 3P+ values on WW. I add 1 oz of walnuts to mine for a total of 4P+ values. They're so worth it though :)

Why? Even with 12 people, play goes quickly, and the dice are passed to the person right next to you. However, since every person starts w/ 3 chips, you would need extra chips for a larger group. Or, you can play with coins, peppermints, whatever.

It's a game for 2-8 people, although I think the more people the better. And if you ever run out of cards in one game, you can just reshuffle them and keep going since you only read off one thing each time.

I don't know what the rules say but we play with 6 people, men against the women, and we have 1 set of chips we don't use, so I'm guessing it depends on how you set it up - individual or teams.

There are 3 colors of chips, so any # can play that is divisible by 2 or 3 because you can play as individuals or teams (but the teams should have the same # of people on them. So you can play with 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12....etc.

We used ice chips first, and no; 12 did not fill the box. You could add more to completely fill the box, however 12 won't make enough. Also where you put the ice in is a bit small, so maybe you're supposed to put in more than one load of ice to get the desired amount. We had this machine for a very short time, and its overall performance was disappointing.

You use BOTH boards at the same time. The "lab" board is your new way to find cures for the diseases that are trying to destroy the world. Instead of simply discarding five cards of one color, you now have to take several steps in the lab to find the cure. And while that may sound harder, since it's several steps, it's balanced out by the fact that anybody can do any of the steps, so long as they are in a research station.My friends and I always play with the lab now. We find it a lot more thematic and fun and the challenge seems to be about the same.

I take a handful of bills and put them in the machine and if huge amount, just press the add and keep going until complete. I believe my hand full ranges from 50 to 75. I really haven't tried to max it out, but makes accurate counting quick

If memory serves, I remember counting out about 100 nuggets contained within the entire package. If it's available at a good pricing point like when I ordered mine then I say go ahead if you wish as it did have a good (and delicious I might add) amount of candy inside. Hope this helps you decide. ^JD

I think there are a max of 4 score keeping slots at any one time, I have done it with 3 kids at once.But if you have enough room to move about it is the movement that is fun not the score keeping, So if they like "dance" it is fun to move along with out keeping score, and it is a work out, so taking turns or in other words resting, is certainly an option and there are enough slots to keep track of everyone's score.
