About the game
From the publisher's website: "The S’mores card game is designed for up to 6 multi-level players, and incorporates both strategy and good old fashion fun. The object of the game is to build an edible s’more before your opponents. Players get a higher point value based on the quality of s’more ingredients. First player to collect all 4 ingredient cards and call out S’more!, wins. The S’more card game includes 70, 3x5 sturdy playing cards, and retails for $5.99. Sure to be a big hit at home or on your next family outing. Printed with Soy-Based Ink on Recycled Paper." Cards consist of ingredient cards (graham crackers, marshmallow, and chocolate), bonus cards to increase the point value to your hand, action cards that decrease your point value, and filler cards which have no value. Players start with 5 cards each. On one's turn, a player has two choices: either take a card from the deck and discard one from one's hand; or, ask any player to fan their cards, then pick one of their cards and replace it with one from the active player's hand. The first player to get all four ingredients to create a s'more (2 graham crackers, 1 marshmallow, and 1 chocolate) shouts "S'MORE!" to win the game. If two or more players shout s'more at the same time, the player with the highest point value wins.
