About the game
What you do in a play session
Smell that barbecue? In Sausage Sizzle!, you play as hungry Australian critters like Quokkas, Kangaroos, and even Snakes, all drawn by the irresistible aroma of sausages on the grill. Your goal is simple: snatch as much food as possible, but those sausages are the ultimate prize! The game unfolds over six rounds, and on each turn, you'll roll and re-roll dice, hoping to get combinations of critters and high values on the food dice. Be careful: you can only score one type of critter per round, and each critter can only be scored once throughout the entire game. Sausages, normally worth little, can become your trump card if you manage a special combination: if all four food dice show sausages, their value jumps to 7 for that turn! It's a fast-paced game with easy-to-learn rules, perfect for those who enjoy a light and fun game session with a touch of luck and strategy. Ideal for families and for kicking off any event, just like the famous Australian barbecue that inspired the game.
