Guts of Glory (2012)

About this game

Guts of Glory is an eating contest set in the post-apocalyptic future, in which players race to win the approval of the roaring crowd by chewing and swallowing the most spectacular foods. Every turn, each player must eat a new item from the plate; if they can't fit it in their mouth, another one is spewed out—which another player can catch and swallow for even more glory, leading to chain reactions reminiscent of one's most traumatic pre-school lunch experiences. It is truly the sport of kings.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
