About the game
In Burger Slam, players assemble burgers collectively — but you want to be the one who gets credit for it, so get ready to snatch it away from the hands of others. Shuffle the sixty ingredient cards, then distribute them equally into face-down piles. Set the plate in the middle of the table, with the burger bun next to it. On your turn, reveal the top card of your pile and place it face up on the plate, with everyone trying to keep track of what's been served. If you think that a standard burger — that is, two cards of each ingredient — or a big burger — seven cards of any one ingredient — is ready to be served, then grab the burger bun and finish it. Other players can believe you're correct or doubt you. If someone calls you out, whoever was wrong gives two cards from their pile to the other player, along with all of the cards in the middle of play. Once a player has no cards left, the game ends, and whoever has the most cards wins. Burger Slam has special cards that can be included for more complex play.

Questions and answers
Burger Slam supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. 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 Slam is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Burger Slam for ages 8 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 Slam has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
