Summary: “A card game played in multiple phases. Play starts in the Building Sandwiches phase where players take turns drawing cards and building communal sandwiches. Once a sandwich is completed play enters the Bidding phase where players take turns placing bid cards face down in front of any player (including themselves). Once all players have finished placing bids, the bid score for each player is calculated to determine who eats the sandwich. Eating the sandwich will reward that player with the point value of the sandwich (determined by the cards that make up the sandwich). Players can interrupt play and sour their opponent’s plans by playing Napkin Cards. These cards have specific effects on game play and scoring. The game end is determined by the number of players playing. For 2 player games, the first player to 25 points wins. In 3-4 player games the first player to 15 points is victorious. For a 5 player game the Ultimate Sandwich Champion is the player with the most points after 5 sandwiches have been eaten.”
