Palace Kitchen Merge Game
A merge-2 cooking game with a palace-kitchen storyline
Two matching items on the board merge into a better one — tea leaves into a teapot, small cakes into a festive platter. Characters around the kitchen place orders, and filling them moves a story forward and opens new areas of the palace grounds.
