Chomp, smash, and splat your way through the competition in this fast-paced card game of s'mores construction! In S'Mores Wars, players race to collect ingredients and build the highest-scoring s'mores, but if two or more players lay claim to the same ingredient, they must battle for it in a sticky and delicious twist on rock-paper-scissors — chomping, toasting, stretching, splatting, and smashing each other's marshmallows until one player emerges victorious. —description from the publisher
