Review on Multi-Colored Gamewright Slamwich Pack For Enhanced SEO by Timothy Johnson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun game with the kids

Similar to the old school card game War only for multiple players and with sandwich toppings. And thieves. Divide the deck evenly between all players and go around throwing down sandwich cards until you get either a Double Decker (two of kind in a row) or a Slamwich (any two of a kind with one different card between them thus making a sandwich) or a Thief. Once one of those three comes up anyone at the table can slap the deck and win the pile.The rules allow for playing until one player has all the cards (major drawback to old school War) or with an arbitrary time limit. 10 mins is just about right for our family.One thing I didn't realize (my fault) when purchasing is that the cards are a tad small compared to a traditional deck of cards. They feel small in my adult sized hands, but probably just right for kids. My oldest gets it. My second mostly. My 3 yr old is just jazzed to be at the table, included and on her own team. She just wants to slap everything that comes up. We're working on it.But that's what I like most about it. It's a simple albeit silly game that you can spend time as a family playing with all ages. If you're looking for a game to play with young kids this is a great one. Also look at Trash Pandas by Gamewright. That's how I even found out about Slamwich in the first place.

Pros
  • The colorful design of the cards makes it easy to incorporate the Slamwich Pack into existing game collections for added variety.
Cons
  • The game may have limited replayability
