Each player takes three devilish cooks of the same color and places them on the space of that color opposite their kitchen. Cook pots are distributed randomly around the board. Cards are shuffled and slotted into the card holders.
The goal of the game is to deliver ten points worth of main courses to your kitchen. Three of your four cooking pots score a total of nine points. The fourth dish contains milk which the head devil (the big L himself) really hates. So delivering a milk dish to your kitchen results in the summary destruction of the delivering devilish cook. (But the player continues with whatever cooks may remain.)
Devils move in turns by rolling two dice and moving that many spaces. The devil can pick up any cook pots he passes or put down any pot he is carrying without stopping. The dice have wing marks, as well. A devil can't fly with one wing so a single wing counts as a zero. Two wings allow a devil to take flight and move anywhere. Do not pass go or any cook pots along the way, though.
If two devils land on the same square, one must drop his cook pot and return to his starting square or a cook-off will ensue. The oven in the middle of the board is used to decide a cook-off. The newly arrived devilish cook pushes the button once, his opponent twice, and the excelation continues until the devil in the oven (teufels ex machina?) pops out signaling the end of the duel. Presumably you lose if the devil pops out while you are pushing the button (but it may well be the other way round. Just agree about which way it will be before you start to play). The loser loses his cap, drops his cook pot, and returns to his start square. If the losing devil is bare headed then he is destroyed and removed from the game. Meek is the hatless chef.
The tricky bit is that you need ten points to win and you only have nine safe points yourself. I suppose you are meant to jump chefs just before they pop into their kitchens and wrench the (supposedly) safe dish out of their hands via a devilish cook-off.
As Tim said, charming.
