Do you think you could be a great waiter? Starters, mains, sides, desserts, and beverages — you must remember every order of the table and serve the dishes going out from the kitchen. But pay attention! If someone makes a mistake, you can save the honor of the waiters by correcting it.

At the start of Chaosteria, first released as El Camarero, each player receives cards with starters, mains, sides, desserts, and beverages. Each card shows two variants, and players should pick one variant for each card, then them face up on the table. In turn, players read aloud their orders, then flip them face down.

Reveal eight cards from the kitchen deck and place them in the center of the table. In turn, each player can either serve a dish to a player or discard extra dishes that no one ordered; if another player thinks the current player is making a mistake, they can ring the bell and correct them. A player scores 3 points for serving the right dish, 1 point for a discarded dish, and -2 for every mistake.

Once those dishes have been served or discarded, reveal eight more cards. When the kitchen deck runs out, whoever has the most points wins.
