Something delicious is cooking in the kitchen, and you are the chef with the cleaver. In Diced Veggies you take turns slicing ingredient dice away from a shared chopping block and assigning them to the recipes you are working on. That dice-slicing is the heart of the game: you can only take a limited number of pips per chop, and the right values unlock extra bonuses. Prepare recipes from all around the world, collect sets of ingredients and add Hypes, praise cards that boost a recipe's score. It plays in about 30 minutes for one to four cooks, from age 6, which also makes it a nice pick for playing with kids. Released in 2023.

Who it's for

You want a colorful, quick dice game that is simple enough to share with younger players but still has choices.

Not for you if…

You want long-term planning or a serious theme. This is a light kitchen puzzle.

Vibe's take

Bright, brisk and a little chatty. Everybody leans over the chopping block, hesitates over one more pip, and then groans when a rival snatches the die they wanted.
