The ease with which Grill Party can be learned and played gives it broad appeal but also makes going deeper into the thinking aspects of game-play a natural evolution. Players alternate turns in which they 1) swap one of their own Grill Food Pieces with a Grill Food Piece from the Grill or from another player's food supply, and 2) play Grill Food Cards from their hand before replenishing those cards from their own draw pile. Because playing a given card requires that the balance of items on the Grill match the situation depicted on that card (e.g. no fish on the grill, more veggies than fish, etc.), the goal of players' swaps is to set up situations that enable them to play the most cards. This involves making comparisons, understanding inequalities, and trying out scenarios and outcomes in your head before taking action, skills that apply to mathematics, logic, and many other fields of endeavor. All this braniactivity takes place amidst lighthearted, exuberant fun, the sign of a very good game. The first player to play all their Grill Food Cards wins. For 2 to 5 players.
