Lunch Money: Sticks & Stones arrives as the official 55‑card expansion for the classic Lunch Money, adding even more chaos and laughs to a table of 2 to 8 players. The concept is straightforward: shuffle these new cards into the original deck and let the mayhem unfold. You’ll discover fresh weapons like the dreaded Chunk, basic attacks such as Spank and Evil Eye, defenses like Backlash and Hide, plus special cards that spice things up – Tantrum, Cooties, and Wedgy. Each card resolves quickly, so a game typically lasts between 10 and 20 minutes, making it perfect for short sessions or as a filler between bigger titles. The Take That mechanic remains at the heart of the action, letting you mess with opponents at any moment, guaranteeing plenty of laughs and unexpected turn‑arounds. As in the base game, the goal is to be the last player standing, collecting “lunch money” tokens while knocking rivals out. Cards are the sole component, so there’s no board or extra pieces – just open the box, shuffle, and play. The artwork retains the series’ cartoonish, irreverent style, reinforcing a playground vibe where the competition is as fun as it is fierce. If you already enjoy the Lunch Money core set, this expansion is practically mandatory, adding variety without complicating the rules. For newcomers, it can serve as a fun gateway into light‑hearted combat games where direct interaction and humor steal the show.
