## Description
Stew is a 2‑to‑4 player game that blends memory, risk, and strategy in a farm setting. Each player takes on the role of a farmer who must gather garden ingredients to craft a tasty stew. The goal is simple: collect the food cards before the pests—represented by small tokens—devour your dish. On each turn, you can either draw a card from the deck and add it to your pot or feed one of the pests to protect it from eating your stew. Tension rises as you realize that if you wait too long, other farmers may steal your meal. The game is quick, with play sessions lasting 10 to 20 minutes, and it demands constant vigilance to remember card positions and decide when to stop drawing. Components are straightforward: a deck of colorful cards, a few pest tokens, and a pot marker. Stew works well in casual sessions but also offers a fun challenge for those who enjoy memory games with a dash of luck. If you love short, fast‑paced games with a farm theme, Stew will quickly become a new favorite.
