Actions and How to Play
Picking Up Food
Consulte o manual para detalhes sobre esta seção.
Serving Food
Food cards can be placed into empty positions within the 5x5 area. They can also be placed in positions outside the 5x5 area, provided they have at least one side touching another card. Empty table cards are considered empty positions.
Receiving Food
Characters sitting in the dining area receive all the food served in the same column and the same row. When a character receives food on their dining card:
- If only one of the Food is received, then flip their dining card.
- If two or more are received, that character is eliminated.
Eliminating a Player
When a character is eliminated, remove their dining card from the dining area. If a player was dealt that character at the beginning of the game, they must reveal their character card to show that they are eliminated.
End of Game and Scoring
The game ends when only one player remains. The player who survives the longest is the winner.
