Feuer & Flamme (2013)

About this game

Will the corncob fit on the steak? Or the eggplant on top of the pepper? There's nothing boring about this grill because when celebrity chef Johann Lafer is at the grill, everyone's just burning to go! In Feuer & Flamme, differently-shaped wooden pieces have to be placed on the wobbly grill using a pair of tongs. If you run out of room, you'll have to stack the pieces, one on top of the other, and hope that nothing falls through the grate. If something does fall off, however, the poor soul who happened to be standing at the grill has to give up one of his grill chips. If he doesn't have any left, he's out of the game. Who can keep his cool and hold on to the tongs until the end of the game?

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
