Gamewright – Slamwich – A Fast Flipping Card Game for Kids – Ages 6 and Up – Great for Family Game Night

Product Description

Review Slamwich is a slapjack-type card game with an additional memory challenge. Players compete to win all the bread-shaped cards by slapping any card that makes a "doubledecker" (shows the same sandwich filling as the previous card) or' that makes a "slamwich" (is the third card in a sequence that starts and ends with the same picture). (Ruth B. Roufberg, Parent's Choice®, 1994) -- From Parents' Choice® Product Description Flip and stack this clever loaf of cards to build slamwiches and double deckers. Tomato, onion, tomato... SLAP! Get there first and win the pile. But watch out for munchers and thieves who are out to steal the stack of cards. The first player to collect all the cards wins. Amazon.com Winner of an Oppenheim Best Toy Award, this delightful Gamewright card game is as intellectually tasty as it is hilariously unappetizing. Forty-four cards in the bread-shaped deck are nine separate elements of sandwich fare: one card portrays a lettuce leaf, another shows tomatoes, a third offers a smear of peanut butter, a fourth depicts egg slices, and so on. After the cards are dealt, players lay them down on a central pile (Peanut butter on top of eggs?! Gross!) to construct a card-sandwich that can be won in several different ways. If you see a pair of elements, or a "sandwich" of matching elements--for example, lettuce, pickles, then lettuce again--you slam your hand on the food pile and keep the cards. There are also three "thief" cards to stop (i.e., smack!) and eight devilish "muncher" cards, which demand that you get a pair or a "sandwich" while laying down a specified number of cards or you lose your grub. Slamwich takes about 20 minutes to play, and is deeply pleasurable for young ones, and pretty darned amusing for adults, too. Slamwich is for two to six players. From the Manufacturer Flip and stack this clever loaf of cards to build slamwiches and double-deckers. Tomato, onion, tomato... slap! Get there first and win the pile. But watch out...you'll have to catch the thief and stop the muncher from stealing the stack of cards. When you're out of cards you're out of the game. The player who collects all of the cards wins. Parental alert: a sharp eye and fast hand will prevail. Play all out, but the kids will beat you every time! Slamwich teaches reading readiness skills, like visual discrimination and sequencing. While kids are flipping and stacking cards, they're actually learning how to recognize a series, make combinations, and anticipate what might happen.

• Real-time, pattern recognition card game • Cards that are die-cut to resemble slices of bread topped with sandwich items, sandwich thieves, and sandwich munchers. • Whoever collects all of the cards wins! • Ages 6 and up
