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

Description

Games for the Infinitely ImaginativeGamewright was founded
in 1994 by four parents whose kids wanted great games. From the start, our
mission has remained clear: Create the highest quality family games with
outstanding play-value. Guided by themes and experiences that transcend age
and salted with a bit of irreverence, our games are designed to foster
laughter, learning, friendship and fun.Over the years our family has grown to
over 200 games, 300 awards, and countless happy players. The thousands of
letters we receive from kids, parents, grandparents, and teachers tell us our
hearts are in the right place. Thank you for inviting us into your home and
for playing with Gamewright! 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.

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. 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,
