About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a buffet experience that's more about strategy than gluttony! In 'Too Much on Your Plate', you and your friends are at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but the trick is not to overdo it. Your goal? Load up your plate with the right food cards, but without going overboard. Use action cards to strategically sabotage your opponents' meals – after all, who doesn't love a little friendly chaos at the table? Keep a close eye on everyone else's plates, because here, second place is the real winner! That's right, the game isn't about being the best, but about knowing exactly when to stop, a true ballet of risk and reward. If you go too far, you're out of the round, but if you play it too safe, someone else might steal your spot. Created by Alice Hong, Jessica Hong, and Clay Capra, this is a super fun card game, perfect for laughs and the sweet satisfaction of watching your friend eat one too many desserts. It's the ideal mix of hand management, a push of luck, set collection, and that 'take that' spice that makes everything more exciting. A quick game, lasting 15 to 20 minutes, for 2 to 5 players, promising to be the star of your next gathering. Who said eating too much couldn't be fun?
