- Notes during the game:
- Alahij explaining the game – attentive, questions, verbal responses
- “When do we decide to clear up cards?” – when the round is done

- Round 3: more focus
- Ways of holding cards, stacking up and down and fan mode
- Carina won! 3 points
- Alahji explaining more about the game
- Are you going to draw the images -> use figma
- Overlapping of ingredients: proteins??
- First impression:
- Made sense, not to complicated
- Expected to play game that fast? – a surprise to us
- Suggestions: have bluffing aspect, establish trade with people and could lie about ingredients but the marketplace might be harder to figure out
- If someone calls potluck, don’t restart, just continue
- Make the same dishes twice
- If someone makes a s=recipe and maybe switch the recipe out too
- Menu component – correspond color with ingredient cards
- Liked the marketplace
- Meeting goals: testing them to name the ingredients for bonus points! Reinforces the learning, recall things for recall proactive; strengthens neurons
