Setting Up the Steamy Delights

To begin our gastronomic journey, let's set up the game for two players. Place the main dim sum board at the center of the table, creating a focal point for our culinary masterpiece. Don't forget to keep the scoreboard and the card area nearby, as they will play a crucial role in our quest for dim sum domination.

Now, it's time to deal out the fate cards. 18 cards will suffice, so bid farewell to the rest. Shuffle the fortune deck like a seasoned chef and place it in its designated location. Oh, and don't forget to put the dim sum marker on the available slot for your number of players. In our case, it's the illustrious 12 slot, perfect for two players.

Steaming Baskets of Delight

Ah, the steam baskets, the vessels of culinary delight! Take all the dim sum tokens with their vibrant colored borders and place them in these little marvels. We need a total of 18 steam baskets, divided into three groups of six. Each group will receive a different number of dim sum pieces, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The first group shall receive two pieces, the second group three, and the final group four.

Now, let's add an element of surprise to our culinary extravaganza. Randomly stack the steam baskets, creating a tantalizing mystery of flavors waiting to be revealed. Place them on the board, like a work of art waiting to be devoured.

Characters and Abilities: A Dash of Personality

Every culinary adventure needs its cast of characters, and Steam Up of Feast of Dim Sum is no exception. Assign each player a character board, giving them a unique identity in this gastronomic journey. In our case, player one takes on the role of the food blogger Pig, while player two becomes the enigmatic magician.

Each player receives two tokens, but only one can make the cut. Choose wisely and return the rejected token back to the box. Place the chosen token on the score track, marking the beginning of our quest for dim sum glory. Now, it's time to determine the first player and bestow upon them the illustrious first player token, the squishy bow bun.

Unleashing the Dim Sum Feast

With our setup complete, it's time to unleash the dim sum feast upon the world. Set up the main play board according to the chosen player, ensuring each player receives starting resources and a unique ability. The layout of the dim sum area showcases the victory points for collecting different dim sum pieces, creating a tantalizing challenge for our culinary adventurers.
