In Qetchup Card Game, players race to construct a set of 5 cards that, together, represent a healthy meal. After having been dealt 8 cards apiece, players can take a card from the draw pile and discard one and/or play cards from their hand in a number of ways. The 5 card types needed to form a healthy meal are Veggie, Meat, Fruit, Bread, and Juice. Placing a healthy meal on the table will not, by itself, win you the game - you must also rid your hand of its remaining cards. Meanwhile, other types of cards in the deck make it possible for your opponents to get in your way. For example, a Junk card can be used to ruin your meal. Among other things, a Q card can be used to neutralize a Junk card, restoring your meal to health. The dreaded Restart card (of which there is exactly one in the deck) can be used to force an opponent to discard what's left of his hand and draw another 8 cards - ouch! There are other twists and turns, and Qetchup is good, fast, clean fun that plays well across a broad range of ages.
