📖 About This Game
You better eat a balanced meal! In this strategic card game, balance all the junk with healthy options, or you just might end up wobbling out of the game!
Object of the game: To eliminate the other players and be the last player standing (not wobbling)!
Setup:
The player who is the next to celebrate their birthday is the dealer. The cards (except the 6 Reference cards) are shuffled. Going in the clockwise direction, each player is dealt 3 cards. These cards are placed face-up. The rest of the card deck is placed face-down, and this becomes the Draw pile.
How to play the game:
Each player's cards will be visible throughout the game. The player to the left of the dealer goes first.
A player's turn consists of the following steps:
A. The player picks a card from the Draw pile.
B. If they pick up an Action card and already have 3 Action cards, they have to drop one of them on top of the Discard pile.
C. They can make ONE of the following moves:
1. Cancel out their positive and negative Food points and drop the corresponding food cards on top of the Discard pile. (For example, Drew Donut can be cancelled with two Bo Banana cards. In this case, all 3 cards will be added to the top of the Discard pile.)
2. Play an Action card.
3. Do nothing. (Play continues in the clockwise direction.)
Action Cards:
• You dump it... Play this card to target ANY player and force them to discard ALL their Healthy Food cards.
• I'll steal it... Play this card to steal ANY card from ANY player.
• You take it... Play this card to target ANY player and offer them Junk Food card(s) worth up to 10 Food points.
• I'll block it... Play this card to block any Action card (except l'll steal it...) that targets you. Both the Action cards (the 'I'll block it' card and the opponent's Action card) are then added to the Discard pile. If the opponent's Action card is a ‘You take it' card, the Junk food card(s) that accompany this action remain with the opponent.
• You add it... Play this card to target ANY player and force them to draw the top 2 cards from the Draw pile.
• You eat it... Play this card to target ANY player. If that player's total Food points are equal to OR exceeds 20, they are eliminated from the game. Their cards are added to the Discard pile.
At any point in the game, no player can have more than 3 Action cards. If they pick up a 4th Action card, they have to drop one on top of the Discard pile.
Even in a scenario where it is Player A's turn, and they give Player B a 'You add it...' card, if Player B picks up their fourth Action card, they still have to discard one of their
Action cards.
If the Draw pile runs out, shuffle the Discard pile and turn it over to create a new Draw pile.
A player can ONLY be eliminated from the game when another player targets them with a 'You eat it..? card. If the player's total Food points are equal to OR exceeds 20, they have gobbled too much and are out of the game. Play continues until only one player remains.
