Tummy Ache (1973)

About this game

"Try to make a meal you can eat!" Each player has a board with spaces for elements of their meal. Players take cards in turn, which once revealed depict a tasty food item or a rotten "tummy-ache" card. Duplicate food types cannot be taken and must be put in the discard pile which the next player can draw from if she wants. The first player to complete their meal wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
