Gameplay Highlights
Setup: Shuffle and deal six cards to each player
Rounds: Play rounds "in hand," arranging cards to maximise your score within a 5x5 grid.
Scoring: Connect produce orthogonally, arranging your bacon in pairs, ribs in threes, and isolating legs of ham. All while attempting to display the most sausages.
Dexterity Challenge: By the end of the round, you must hold all your cards between one finger and thumb. You must be able to flip your hand without dropping any cards.
Beware! If a card ever falls from your hand, you can't pick it up. There’s no five-second rule here! Dropped food is lost food!
Endgame: Tally scores to determine who becomes the master butcher of Porkshire.
