"Every player then rolls their own set of dice simultaneously, which determines which type of food to fling, how many to take or toss, and which direction it goes in! Try not to get hungry for your childhood treats as you throw items resembling a hamburger, shake, Mickey ears-shaped ice cream, French fries, and more."

Art Decko Announced
Rio Grande Games has announced Art Decko, set for release next month. "An artistic new take on deck building. The paintings are beautiful (and expensive) but can become more valuable as the game continues. Showing a painting in a museum increases the value of all works in that genre. All of the players who hold that type of painting benefit, but who benefits most?"

Dice Forge (Meeple Mountain): “The game certainly has a memorable presence on the table. It’s light enough to rally the family, but thoughtful enough that you could go all in on decision-making with a group of gamers.”
