What's Cookin' is a family game from the heyday of Scratch 'n' Sniff. Players roll a die with the Chef dice tower and move around the board, visiting as many as five different restaurants over the course of the game. Upon arriving at a restaurant, the player selects a card, scratches, sniffs, and announces to the table what he suspects the food to be. The player then opens the card, revealing it only to himself. If correct, he keeps it and earns a point toward winning the game. If incorrect, he closes his eyes and the player to his left swaps it with a card from another restaurant. Play rotates and continues until all of the cards have been correctly identified. Whoever has identified the most foods wins!
