Do you class yourself as a bit of a foodie? If so, then away from experiencing gourmet French food abroad and tucking into some home creations with family, you might find yourself dabbling in the odd bit of food-themed entertainment every now and then.
Some people are avid watchers of shows like MasterChef and The Great British Bake Off, while others regularly session YouTube videos from popular online chefs aiming to share a selection of their tastiest recipes. Likewise, others might tuck into popular food-themed games, similar to titles like Candy Crush Saga for sweet treat lovers and even releases based on popular television chefs like MasterChef: Dream Plate or the Hell’s Kitchen’s slot game by Gordon Ramsay. Board games are another popular go-to option for many also, with an array of board games capable of keeping food lovers entertained for hours on end. Some games are suitable for a younger audience also, enabling you to game away with any friends and family in the process. Let’s take a look at some of the best options below.
Let Them Eat Cake
Gathering cakes sounds like an exciting proposition, right? Well, in Let Them Eat Cake that is exactly what you’re tasked with doing, although you have 40 cakes to gather in order to leave you in a solid position with a new government. Each cake has a specific value, therefore leaving players with the opportunity to win people over. You can also deprive others of votes by arguing loudly and even bribing each other for roles you might prefer. The aim of the game is to take control of the government, but the cakes hold the power.
Gudetama: The Tricky Egg Card Game
In this particular game, you actually want to avoid scoring points. Made by Hello Kitty creator Sanrio, the game involves numerous rounds where players pick cards ranked from 1-14. From there, players must lay down cards with the highest value, although you don’t necessarily want the points. Instead, you need to figure out ways to get rid of your highest scoring cards by carrying out tricks. If you manage to accrue 21 points, you win. It’s a tough game to explain, but you’ll certainly master it once you give it a few attempts.
Abandon All Artichokes
Ideal for long car or train journeys, Abandon All Artichokes is a fun vegetable-themed game where having the perfect strategy can really pay off. Ideal for both adults and children, it packs away nearly into a tin and only requires a small amount of table space to get stuck into. Suitable for all board gamers, you’ll enjoy this one.
Sushi Go!
Any sushi lovers among us? If so, then Sushi Go! is most definitely a game well worth sampling. A fun and entertaining board game, the aim of the game is to try and put together the most appetising meal after collecting cards representing various Japanese-themed delights, such as sashimi and dumplings. The better the meal, the more points you make. For example, if you’re only able to add a single tempura into the mix, then chances are you’ll lose out to a more detailed creation from one of your rivals.
Cacao
A hugely popular tile placement card game, Cacao involves playing as a tribe leader as you aim to cultivate and sell cacao in an attempt to raise as much gold as you possibly can. Taking between 2-4 players and aimed at anyone above the age of eight, it’s easy to grasp and serves up some good and honest cacao-related entertainment.
Other options include Food Chain Magnate, Vinhos, Point Salad, and Go Nuts for Donuts!
