Description

A world summit is approaching and you have been selected as one of the main chefs in charge of the banquet. You and your fellow chefs will travel to the summit together aboard a diplomatic ship. On your way there you will go through a Riviera famous for its exotic flora and fauna. This will be the place where the ingredients for the banquet will be collected. While the ship cruises the Riviera you will plan the banquet menu as well as collect the necessary ingredients to prepare it.

Riviera is a dice drafting game where the dice can be used either for their color or their number. You use the color to set up end-game scoring opportunities, in the form of recipes to be fulfilled, and the number to collect ingredients from the Riviera to fulfill such recipes.

In each round of the game the ship will move along the Riviera and new dice will be rolled. Each player will draft one of them and will use it for one of the available actions. Such actions include:

1. Using the number to move on land to collect ingredients. The movement will start from the current location of the ship. During this action, you may use the special powers of the ship's crew to assist you.
2. Using the color to add a dish to the banquet menu. You score points at the end go the game if you have the ingredients to prepare the planned dish.
3. Using the number to fish for seafood ingredients. This is done by drawing tiles from a bag.
