About the game
Game description from the publisher: Toasted or Roasted is an offensive/defensive game in which players try to be the first to start their campfire and toast three marshmallows — but watch out for Roasty because he will burn the marshmallows to a crisp! To get your fire lit, you must collect a fire starter card, which you can then lay on your firewood disk to start the flames flickering. The next challenge will be securing a marshmallow for your roasting stick. Take turns flipping cards until you get a raw marshmallow. Finally, be on the lookout for a toasted card to add to your stack to complete one of the three toasted marshmallows you need to make. But be careful because if your opponents turn over a rain, wind or roasted card, they can put out your fire or burn your marshmallow and you'll have to begin again!
