## Description
In 'Consumption: Food and Choices', we dive headfirst into the world of food and well-being, showing that balance is the key to a healthy life. Developed by a dietitian, the game is a super creative worker placement and resource management game that funnily addresses how our food choices impact the body. Over six rounds, players will hunt for ingredients, prepare delicious recipes, dine out, and engage in physical activities – all to balance 'calories in' with 'calories out'.

The main goal is to manage your body's needs as best as possible. Points are earned by completing recipes and participating in activities, but the real trick is to give your body what it truly needs to be happy and healthy. After all, neglecting your own health can bring undesirable consequences (and fewer points!). The game stands out for its unique and thematic presentation of food and health, with an impressive component count and strategic gameplay, yet with very accessible rules. It's proof that you can learn about well-being in a super fun and engaging way at the game table!
