About the game
Ever had that friend who just can't stop eating? In Fat Food, you'll want to be exactly that person! This is a fast-paced, hilarious card game where the goal is to become the ultimate glutton of the neighborhood. It's not just about eating everything in sight, though; it's about eating enough to win without actually dying in the process!

The gameplay revolves around assembling dishes using different types of food cards. You've got your healthy options, your neutral snacks, and the tempting, greasy junk food. Each card adds grams to your total score, but there's a catch: your health. Healthy foods boost your heart-health-meter, while junk food drains it. If you get too greedy and your health hits the limit, you suffer a heart attack and you're out!

It's a game of push-your-luck, bluffing, and quick decision-making. Do you play it safe with salads, or do you go all-in on a mountain of burgers and hope your heart holds up? With players competing to accumulate the most grams while staying alive, Fat Food is a perfect-sized party game that keeps everyone engaged. It's light, it's greasy, and it's guaranteed to bring laughs (and maybe a bit of hunger) to your game night. Just remember: eat big, but don's die trying!
