Goal

Win the battle by being the first player to collect all of your Burger's ingredients.

Set Up

Step 1: Shuffle the 8 large Burger cards and deal one to each player. Each player will leave their Burger face up in front of them.

Step 2: Shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal 5 cards to each player. Each player will hold their 5 cards where only they can see them.

Step 3: Place the remaining deck face down in the center of the table. Flip the top card over to the side; this will act as the Graveyard.

Step 4: Should the game continue once the deck is depleted, take the Graveyard, reshuffle and repeat step 3.

Your Cards

This is an example of how your cards should look during game play. When played, all cards on the table must be placed where they are easily read by other players, Battle Cards to the left and ingredients to the right as shown.

The rules sheet illustrates the layout as three groups: BATTLE CARDS (two orange cards, placed to the left), BURGER (one large red card, in the middle), and INGREDIENTS (stacks of teal cards, placed to the right of the Burger).

Your Turn

• The player who has eaten a Burger most recently goes first.

• To start your turn, draw a card. Cards can be drawn from the deck or an ingredient can be taken from the top of the Graveyard. Once you draw a card, you will have 6 cards in your hand.

• Do you have an ingredient for your Burger in your hand? If so, you can play that ingredient and draw another card. Repeat this sequence of playing an ingredient and drawing a card until you no longer have any playable ingredients. If you don't want to play any playable ingredients for strategic reasons, you can end your turn.

• To end your turn, you can discard any card in the Graveyard or you can play a Battle Card.

• At the end of your turn, you will have 5 cards in your hand.

Battle Card Notes

• The Burgerpocalypse card is optional. If used, show no mercy! When played, all players' ingredients are destroyed, regardless of protection.

• Battle Cards can only be played during your turn, unless otherwise noted on the card.

• When playing a Battle Card that removes player's ingredients, the ingredients are placed in the Graveyard with the Battle Card on top.

• Battle Cards can be discarded without having been used.

• Battle Cards that add protection only protect your Burger & ingredients from other Battle Cards; however, they are not immune to Destroy.

• Battle Cards that add ingredients, protection or any special ability will remain to the left of the affected player's Burger; all other Battle Cards go in the Graveyard after being played.

• When satisfying Battle Cards that add ingredients, place the ingredient behind the Battle Card as shown in the sheet's diagram (the ingredient card is placed partly behind the Battle Card, with the ingredient edge labelled INGREDIENT and the Battle Card edge labelled BATTLE CARD).

• The Old Switcheroo can be played regardless of added protection, as it acts on the player's hand, not their Burger.

• Only one form of protection can be used on your Burger at a time.

Battle Cards

• Burger Bomb: Blow up another player's Burger by sending their ingredients to the Graveyard.

• Burger Force Field: Your Burger is now protected from all Battle Cards.

• Burgerpocalypse: Obliterate all players' ingredients, including your own, and toss them in the Graveyard.

• Destroy!: Destroy any Battle Card of yours or another players and toss it in the Graveyard.

• Gonna Eat That?: Steal another player's ingredient and add it to your Burger.

• Grave Digger: Dig through the Graveyard for any needed ingredient and add it to your Burger.

• I Got Nothin': Toss your hand in the Graveyard and draw 5 new cards.

• More Meat!: Make another player's Burger a double decker by adding an extra Meat to their ingredients list.

• Pickle Plague: Rain vengeance down upon another player by adding Pickles to their ingredients list.

• Picky Eater: Throw another player's Lettuce, Tomato or Onion in the Graveyard.
