About the Project.[/h] As an avid game designing enthusiast, food pun lover and vegan-curious myself I created "Soy What?!" in the beginning of 2019. After rigorously testing and refining the game with friends and family I decided to take it to next level, involve game reviewers around the world and send them a copy of the game. Their feedback also was overwhelmingly positive and it helped me to take the next step which is to crowd fund & publish the game via Kickstarter.
Someone recently called the game a "a soft satire on the impact of veganism on traditional (meat-eating) culture".
I would only add that "Soy What?!" is a unique combination of timely themes, fun gameplay with a sweet coating.
Let's make this game happen!
[h=1]The Game.[/h] Soy What?! is a sweet and fun card game that plays vegans and meat eaters in a spicy battle for the best meals. It typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes and can be played by 2 - 6 Players.

[h=1]Rules[/h]
Goal:
The goal of the game is to collect the most food points and not get food poisoning.
Setup:
Each player gets a secret role (vegan or meat eater) and a food allergy card. Additionally every player gets 5 playing cards.
All other playing cards are stacked in the deck which is placed in the middle. Then the game starts clockwise.
Gameplay:
During the game, players place food cards on the playing field and after that always take a card from the deck.
The points on each card count for either vegans or meat eaters - some cards always count. If certain criteria are met, the active player can or must take all cards placed. These cards then count as one meal.
A player can only have three meals. If he obtains a fourth, his first meal must be taken out of the game.
End of the Game:
The game ends after the deck is empty and the last meal is played out. Then players reveal their roles and allergies. The player with the most points collected for his/her role wins.
If one of the collected food cards contains an allergy that the player has - the player is out.
