About the game
In the card game Sandwich, you want to prepare the best sandwiches possible – well, the least disgusting ones anyway – with the ingredients you collect. At the start of the game, each player is dealt nine ingredient cards face-down; ingredients range from the traditional (tomato, cheese) to the more unusual (mussels, melon). Each player stacks these nine cards face-down. At the same time, they each take the top card of their stack and reveal them in the center of the table. Each player then grabs one card that he desires, possibly his own. This process is repeated nine times, giving each player nine ingredients that they "chose". Each player then creates three sandwiches, each containing three of their nine ingredients. The players give one sandwich to three neighbors on the left (dividing them differently in a three-player game), so that everyone has three sandwiches in front of them created by other players. Players then take turns "tasting" the sandwiches on their plate, reading the ingredients aloud, then stating which one sounds best (worth 3 points for its creator), which is second-best (2 points) and which would be left on the plate (0 points). After three complete rounds – nine sandwiches total – the player with the most points wins.

Questions and answers
Sandwich supports 3–6 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 Sandwich is 15 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 Sandwich for ages 6 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.
Sandwich 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.
