PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Sandwich

Brie, Bacon and chocolate

 

After three rounds you should have scored most points with the best or at least with the least horrible sandwiches. The game holds cards with ingredients for sandwiches from the categories vegetables, cheese, meat, fish, fruit and sweets and condiments like mustard or ketchup. You are dealt 0 cards, which are stacked face-down. All turn up the first card simultaneously and then grab a card. You can keep your own, but you must let go and grab it again. When the stack is finished, each player now has nine new ingredients and players can now trade – one ingredient for another ingredient. At the same time each player by himself assembles three sandwiches from three ingredients. When you are done you hand one sandwich each to your three neighbors to the left and pray that you are not handed something even worse than what you just passed along.

Now sandwiches are tasted: Each player reads out the ingredients in the three sandwiches he now holds and chooses his best liked and least like sandwich from the trio. Now the player who made up the sandwich you favored, scores 3 points, the so-so cook scores 1 point but who composed the one you like the least does not get a point. After three rounds you win with most points.

Sandwich offers a nicely seasoned mix of cattiness and restriction, because you should not make sandwiches that are too gruesome, because they won’t score you points, but a bit of honey on the cheese must be possible, maybe my left neighbor will like it! Funny, attractive, easy to carry along! Sandwich!
