About the game
Churrascaria: A Cutthroat Game of Gluttony is a fast paced game of card collection where everyone is trying to eat all the succulent meats that appear on their plates while avoiding the equally delicious but ultimately less satisfying sides and desserts that just get in the way. All the while food theft, plate swapping, and general backstabbing keep the food flying. The person who consumes the most meat wins. Each turn players will attempt to eat food cards from their plate, play action cards to steal food from other players or discard their sides and desserts, all while attempting to defend their own food. When the food deck runs out players add up the scores of all the cards in their stomachs. Meats add to their score, while sides and dessert subtract from it. The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins.
