Lord of the Fries - Manufacturer: Cheapass Games - Designer: James Ernest - Year: 1998 - $4.95 (envelope version) AT FUNAGAIN GAMES
Review by: Nathaniel Dragon - My Photos

Another great game from Cheapass Games is Lord of the Fries. This game is a sequel to Give Me the Brain, with the setting of Friedays restaurant - starring the zombies. Players compete to fill orders by playing cards all of the cards needed to make special meals.

As play goes around the table, players try to "fill the orders" by playing all the neccessary cards and "taking the lead". When a player "takes the lead", that player determines which item on the menu will need to be filled next. This can be done randomly or specifically chosen by the player. (Note: it is often in a players best interest to choose something that he thinks the other players won't have but he does.)

The original version is played the same as the De-Lux version, but in the De-Lux version there are a few new types of cards, which help to broaden the scope of the menus. The following cards are in the set: Bun, Drink, Sauce, Fries, Veggies, Cheese, Bird Meat, Cow Meat, Fish Meat, and Pie. With these cards you can make a variety of items, including one of my very own items - Lasagna (1 sauce, 1 veggies, 2 cheese, 1 cow meat).

In each hand all the cards are dealt out (averaging 70 cards depending on the setting), so the game sometimes feels too long. Fortunately cards may be randomly removed (along with certain cards being removed for specific settings in the De-Lux version) in order to shorten the game. The game play is fun, yet challenging, and the art work on the cards is great, especially if you like clutzy cartoon zombies.
