In the game, a group of cooks (2 to 5 players) are putting together their soup menus, but they must all share the same pot. Each game lasts five rounds; over the course of those rounds, players must create mushroom soup, pea soup, French onlin soup, and chili. For one hand, they must also make no soup. The winner is the player who makes the best soup.

For me, Too Many Cooks was the best surprise of Origins 2002. I wasn't aware the game was coming out, and I had a blast playing it.
