Consumption: Food and Choices (2019)

About this game

As with all things in life, food and health are about balance. Since no two people are the same, different diets meet different needs. With a little help and enough determination, your goals are well within reach. Consumption: Food and Choices is a worker placement and resource management game designed by a dietitian. Over six rounds players will shop for ingredients, cook recipes, dine out, and engage in activities—calories-in, calories-out! The player that best manages their body's needs will win the game, all in the pursuit of health and happiness. Key Points - Fun and creative worker placement game that seamlessly addresses how we eat. - Unique, thematic, and thoughtful presentation of food and health, designed by a dietitian. - Massive component count, and strategic gameplay with an approachable ruleset.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
