As a general rule, I'm not much of a game player. I've never been a huge fan of cards and most board games leave me cold. The one exception to this rule is in the area of trivia games. I LOVE trivia and often will excitedly pull out my aging copy of Trivial Pursuit when someone mentions the possibility of playing a game. Couple that trivial obsession with my fairly well-established love of food and you understand just how ecstatic I was when Foodie Fight showed up in my mailbox late last week.
The game contains a set of trivia cards, six game boards, content-area pieces and a colored die. It is packed into a compact box that has a hidden magnet closure, so that the lid clicks into place pleasingly. You can play on teams or as individuals or you can be like me and start playing against yourself. When it arrived I immediately opened it up, settled into the loveseat in my living room and read the questions on more cards than I care to admit (no one is actually going to want to play it with me after they read this post). I knew quite a few of the answers, but was stumped more than once.
While I'm looking forward to playing the game with other real humans, I'm already certain that it will be given a place of honor right next to my other trivia games, to be trotted out any time someone says, "Hey, anyone want to play..."
