Ramen Odyssey is a mode in The Ramen Sensei 2 where you travel around a board in a truck selling ramen to gain points and sales. You're not alone however, as you have up to 3 AI players doing the same. It's a race to see whoever can get the most points before the game ends!

Truck Parts

Your truck is made of 4 parts, the body, engine, gas tank, and tires. Each part has 4 stats: Stock, your maximum amount of ramen you can store before you run out, gas, the maximum amount of gas you can hold, roll bonus, which provides a flat bonus to your roll, allowing you to travel further in a turn, and consumed gas, which is the amount of gas you use each time you roll.

Supersonic Body		Built for speed...but for that only.	40	3	20	Doubles stock reduction when landing on a hazard tile. Too little stock to be worthwhile, sadly.

High-Capacity Body V2		Can fit even more ramen inside.	150	-1	45	The extra fuel cost isn't worth it. Unlocks the V3 version when bought.

Eco Engine		Low output but eco-friendly.	-1	5	Bad.
Power Engine		Well-balanced power and energy consumption.	2	30	Good engine, but the later ones are even better. Unlocks the High-Power Engine when purchased.

Jet Engine		From an actual jet plane.	5	80	Now you're really going fast! But not faster than the next one... Unlocks the Rocket Engine when purchased.

Cards

Cards are usable items within an odyssey that grant an advantage when used. They can be bought with medals (adds the card to your stocked cards), accumulated sales, or used from your stocked cards. Only the lattermost is allowed if you have any cards of that type stocked. You can only use a limited number of cards for each run of an odyssey, this number usually starts at 10, but can be higher on some boards.

Card Name	Description	Sales Cost	Medal Cost	Info
Cook Card	Fully restocks.	10	2	Fully fills your stock. An absolute must-have, as without stock you won't gain points or sales!
Gas Refill Card	Fully refills the gas tank.	10	2	Fully refills your gas. Not as important as running out of gas doesn't prevent you from gaining points or sales, but still definitely important.
Turbo Card	Double dice.	20	6	Roll two dice at once. Still consumes fuel, but can be used without any. Roll bonus takes effect after both dice have been rolled.
Rocket Card	Triple dice.	40	8	Roll three dice at once. Still consumes fuel, but can be used without any. Roll bonus takes effect after all three dice have been rolled. The AI really likes using this card, and can occasionally cheat and use it at no cost to their sales.
Magic Spice Card	Doubles ramen points for this turn.	50	12	Doubles the amount of points you earn for the turn. Incredibly useful when aiming for multiple development bonuses. The AI can cheat and use this card at no cost at times.
Hungry Card	Doubles ramen customers for this turn.	60	15	Doubles the amount of stock you sell for the turn. Useful when combined with Magic Spice, though be aware this will make your stock count suffer. The AI can also cheat and use this card at no cost.
Idling Card	Stay on the same tile.	20	2	Treats the game as if you rolled a 0 (roll bonus does not apply), thereby staying on the same tile and activating any on-land effects. Useful to get free stocked cards from card tiles and to let your opponents get in front of you.
Extension Card	Get one more turn.	40	5	Increases the turns remaining counter by 1. Useful if your opponents are out of stock and have no card uses remaining.
Local Promo Card	Set up stalls on 6 tiles from your tile.	30	4	Levels up all development tiles 6 tiles in front of you. Great to use to get a lot of points from development bonuses.
3 Extra Card Uses	Get 3 more card uses.	150	20	Increases your card use count by 3. A must-have to stock up for long games. Do note that it cannot be used when you are out of card uses!
Step Cards	Go forward by X.	10	2 (for 1-4) 3 (5-6)	Move forward by a specific number of tiles (roll bonus does not apply). Doesn't cost fuel. Useful to land on certain spaces.

Tiles

A board is made up of many different tiles. Each tile does something either when passed by or landed on, or in some cases both.

Tile Name	Upon Passing	Upon Landing	Notes
Development Tile	Sell your dish to gain points. Depending on the level, you'll sell more dishes.	Increase the level of the tile. Level maxes at 3. Sell your dish as well.	Once a tile gets a certain number of points, a development bonus occurs, giving the player that earned the bonus a large sum of points. This bonus is affected by Magic Spice, but not Hungry.
Spice Tile	No effect.	Grants the effect of Magic Spice, doubling your points on your next turn!	Doesn't take card uses.
Hungry Tile	No effect.	Grants the effect of Hungry, doubling your sales for your next turn!	Doesn't take card uses.
Card Tile	No effect.	Stocks a random card, free of charge!	Not present on any trial boards. Stocked cards carry over to other odysseys and even through NG+!
Investment Tile	Sell your dish 5 times.	Gain a money, SP, or an item depending on what you land on.	A broad name for tiles that get created when completing a certain investment in the area you're in. Only present in area odysseys.
Terrain Tile	Doubles your movement cost if your truck doesn't have resistance to the terrain.	No effect.	Present on many odysseys, most notably the trials. Includes rocky, water, sandy and snowy tiles.
Hazard Tile	No effect.	Lose half your current stock if your truck doesn't have resistance to the hazard.	Includes lava, whirlpools, and tornados. Present on many odysseys, but not as much of a hassle as terrain.
