🕹️ How to play

1. Pick a mood (or skip it): The chip row starts on 'Anything works' with all 60 dishes on the wheel. Short on time? Tap 'Need it in 10 min'. Midnight craving? 'Late-night hungry'. Payday still far away? 'Broke this month'. The wheel reloads with just those dishes.
2. Tap the hub to spin: Tap the big hub button (or anywhere on the wheel; space bar works on desktop). The wheel lands on a food type first - rice bowls, noodles, soup, grab-and-go, big table or somewhere else - then flips to that type's dishes and spins again for the exact one.
3. Take it, or swap within the type: Three buttons on the result card: 'Take it' locks the decision in, 'Swap within type' re-spins inside the same food type, 'Spin again' starts over from the type wheel. Whatever you just spun turns grey with a strikethrough - still on the wheel, same slice count, never picked again this round.

📖 Rules & variants

Two-stage narrowing: the first wheel has one slice per food type and turns 60 choices into 6; the second has one slice per dish in that type. Both are equal-size slices with equal odds, and the announced answer is always the slice under the pointer. Because it is 'equal odds per type, then equal odds inside the type', a dish sitting in a small type is more likely to come up than one in a crowded type - that is the price of narrowing, not a hidden weight. Want flat odds across all dishes? Switch to single-stage mode in settings.

Round elimination: every dish you spin (whether or not you accept it) goes grey with a strikethrough and stays on the wheel - the slice count never changes. Keep spinning and you will work through the whole pool (60 dishes on the default mood) before the 'round is empty' screen appears, and 'Put them all back' restores it. Crossing midnight starts a fresh round on its own.

Cool-down: a dish you tapped 'Take it' on fades for the next 3 days and its weight drops to 0.3 of a normal dish (roughly a third to a quarter of the odds, depending on the pool). It is damped, not banned. A legend under the wheel spells out 'grey = spun this round, faded = eaten recently', and settings can switch the cool-down off entirely.

Your own list: open 'Edit list' and type one dish or restaurant name per line - it saves as you type, no save button, up to 100 lines of 30 characters. Write the same name twice and it gets two slices and double the odds (the page tells you so rather than silently de-duplicating). A custom list has no food types, so it spins single-stage, and the cool-down only applies to the 60 built-in dishes.

Eating together: prop one phone in the middle of the table and everyone watches the same landing. If the table cannot agree, open table mode: 2-6 people pass the phone around, each nominating one dish, then one spin settles it. The result card names whose pick won and adds a table rule so the people who lost get something back, e.g. 'whoever was not picked orders the drinks'. Table mode never touches your personal round or cool-down record.

Tips: write a dish twice in your own list to double its odds; with a group, narrow with a mood chip before spinning so the landing feels plausible; and in table mode say 'one spin, we eat whatever it lands on' out loud before spinning - that sentence does more for group buy-in than the wheel does.
