About the game
Once hungry Kitty craved to eat, but sadly found no yummy meat, instead just found some weird spice, scoffed it down and paid the price. From prickling hot sensation came the grand idea for this sweet game. Sweet & Spicy is a bluffing card game for 2-6 players and the kid-friendly variant of Spicy. Instead of Wasabi you can now play with Lemon and there is a new card in the game: The SUPER-JOKER. But the game principle remains the same. Just like in Spicy, the cards are played face down, so you can cheat when you announce your card. But it's not just about bluffing convincingly. You can almost always play a card that is at least half right if you play it skillfully from your hand. It's a matter of tactically considering which card you can get away with: Do I play a "pepper 9" better than a "chili 10" or a suit joker than a "pepper 10"? Or do I pass better, because I'm sure it will be noticeable that I've been thinking about it for so long? In Sweet & Spicy, the super joker is added, which can be any spice and any number. It is therefore always correct and cannot be doubted. —description from the publisher

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 Sweet & Spicy 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 Sweet & Spicy 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.
Sweet & Spicy has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
