Slamwich Card Game
This card game is as intellectually tasty as it is hilariously unappetizing.
Forty-four cards in the bread-shaped deck are nine separate elements of sandwich fare: one card portrays a lettuce leaf, another shows tomatoes, a third offers a smear of peanut butter, a fourth depicts egg slices, and so on.
After the cards are dealt, players lay them down on a central pile (peanut butter on top of eggs.
Gross.
) to construct a card-sandwich that can be won in several different ways.
If you see a pair of elements, or a sandwich of matching elements--for example, lettuce, pickles, then lettuce again--you slam your hand on the food pile and keep the cards.
There are also three thief cards to stop (i.
E.
, smack.
) and eight devilish muncher cards, which demand that you get a pair or a sandwich while laying down a specified number of cards or you lose your grub.
Slamwich takes about 20 minutes to play, and is deeply pleasurable for young ones, and pretty darned amusing for adults, too.
S real-time, pattern recognition card game cards that are die-cut to resemble slices of bread topped with sandwich items, sandwich thieves, and sandwich munchers.
Whoever collects all of the cards wins.
For ages 6 and up.
