📖 About This Game
What the Food?! is a fast-paced card game for 3-8 players capturing the experience of a classic cafeteria food fight! Pick up food, throw funny combos at your opponents and duck to avoid "humiliation" points from flying food impact.
In the center is a draw deck, with five food or other cards exposed at any one time to make up the "cafeteria floor". Players start the game with three standard actions and one special action unique to their character. Every round, each player chooses three of their action cards, and puts them in a stack representing the next three turns. The turns are then resolved at once, but in clockwise rotation to handle any timing conflicts. Players can gain additional actions during the game, and global school events occur, instantly causing random chaos.
When any player reaches 10 humiliation points, someone has "alerted the principal" and the fight is over at the end of that round. The winner is the person with the LOWEST humiliation score.
