Beastro

Welcome to Beastro, where mythical beast chefs compete to make the best dishes, earn rave reviews, and become the next top chef. Beastro is a team-based social deduction and trick-taking game for 3 to 6 players that plays in about 30 minutes.

Each round, the winner of the Wager becomes the Head Chef and assigns secret roles to the other players, including the Secret Chef, who plays on a team with the Head Chef to try to win the majority of the dishes/tricks. The other players act as Line Cooks, attempting to steal dishes/tricks, play sabotage cards, and try to complete restaurant bonuses while uncovering the identity of the Secret Chef! Play takes place over three rounds, and the player who can bluff and cook their way to the most star reviews wins!

The game is inspired by the classic Italian trick-taking game  Briscola Chiamata, and you can read more about the design process on our Board Game Geek Designer Diary. The game was officially released at Pax Unplugged 2025 as part of the Indie Games Night Market.
