About the game
Futterneid, the final game in Friedemann Friese's Friday Project, is all about the snacks lying on a table at a game night. To prepare for play, group all the stuff on the table into five groups. Give each single snack a value depending on the calories, after which each player adds a secret value modifier and the game starts. On a turn, take exactly one piece more or less than the previous player or steal from anyone's unsaved snacks. In the end, players reveal the modifiers and count their score. Futterneid can be played as a "normal" game without real snacks, but the game comes packaged with five snack bowls and bears a universal "add snacks as achievements to any game" rule, so why not indulge?

Questions and answers
Futterneid 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 Futterneid is 10 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 Futterneid 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.
Futterneid has a complexity rating of 1.6 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.
