About the game
Knuckle Sammich is a small card game, originally made available to Kickstarter backers of KOBOLDS ATE MY BABY! IN COLOR!!! by 9th Level games. The object of the game is to fill your stomach with all manner of items that kobolds eat...especially babies!! From the publisher: YOU ARE LATE FOR LUNCH! By the time that you get to the Kitchens, lunch is nearly over! You and the other slowpokers and lateniks are going to have to make your own, with some KNUCKLE SAMMICHES! YOU ARE A KOBOLD trying to tooth and claw your way to a full belly by grabbing the last few sandwiches. Along they way, you may just give up the pretense of making sandwiches and eat your friends instead. Watch out for King Torg (ALL HAIL KING TORG!) and maybe you will survive lunch and wind up with a fresh, tasty baby to eat. KNUCKLE SAMMICH is a fast card game for 2-7 players that involves a little strategy, a little luck, a few cards, and occasionally shouting at the top of your lungs. Great for any age or gamer type. Based on the popular RPG KOBOLDS ATE MY BABY! and featuring the art of JOHN KOVALIC (of Munchkin and Dork Tower and Kobolds Ate My Baby! fame).
