About the game
Burger Battle is a card game of strategy and sabotage for 2-6 players. Your goal is simple: be the first to collect every ingredient and complete your burger. Getting there is anything but. At the start of the game each player is dealt one of 8 unique burger cards. That will be your burger to build. You're dealt a hand of 5 cards and the burger-building frenzy begins. On your turn, draw a card and play any matching ingredient cards from your hand, drawing again after each card you play until you run out of ingredients to place. To end your turn, discard a card or unleash a Battle Card on your unsuspecting opponents. The Battle Cards are where Burger Battle earns its title. Burger Bomb obliterates another player's entire ingredient stack and sends it to the Graveyard. Gonna Eat That? lets you steal an ingredient straight off another player's burger. The Old Switcheroo trades your entire hand with another player. Yours Looks Good! swaps your whole burger and all your ingredients with anyone at the table — Battle Cards included. Protect yourself with the Burger Force Field. Dig through the Graveyard for lost ingredients with the Grave Digger or burn your whole hand with I Got Nothing and draw five fresh cards. Every turn is a decision between building your own burger and making everyone else's game a misery. The deck depletes? Take the Graveyard, reshuffle, and keep going. The game ends when one player collects every last ingredient for their burger and claims the Burger Battle crown. Fast to learn. Impossible to put down. Components: 110 Ingredient Cards · 32 Battle Cards · 8 Burger Cards · 1 Rule Sheet Signed copies are available each signed on the inside of the box lid by game designer and creator Andrew Heath.

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Burger Battle is 15–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Burger Battle for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Burger Battle has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
