Food Card Icons
Food Card Icons illustration
The icons on Food Cards show the utensils commonly used to eat each dish. Some Action Cards refer to these icons to activate their powers. Since eating traditions vary across cultures, if a group disagrees on a utensil's relevance, simply discuss it—and take a quick vote to keep the game moving. After all, this is a celebration of food, not a final exam!
