In Lord of the Fries, players are dealt a random hand of ingredients, which they will use to complete menu items. At the beginning of each round, a player will either roll or call an order.

If everyone passes, the customer gets impatient, and the round continues to the left; but this time, players may leave out an ingredient from the order.
