Battle Fries

Try to get the tastiest fries! Be the only one to dip your fries in a sauce, otherwise you might get stuck in it!

In Battle Fries, players each have a hand of 9 Fries cards. During each round, players choose a card secretly, then after a countdown, simultaneously choose a Sauce to send their Fries into. If a player is alone in a Sauce, he gets back his own played Fries card, as well as any Fries cards stuck in that Sauce during the previous rounds, or a Graillon, which also brings victory points. If more than one player chooses the same Sauce, they either be stuck in it, or lose the Fries card played.

Among their 9 cards, players have a Fricadelle card: played in a Sauce, it will clear the other Fries played in that Sauce in the same turn. But, if 2+ Fricadelles meet in the same Sauce, then they are lost, and the Fries recover the advantage.

Finally, the powers of the special Sauces are resolved: each game, the Mayo and Ketchup sauces, as well as 1 or 2 special sauces, are available. Each special sauce brings a particular effect to the player who is alone in it during a turn.

Once all 9 Fries cards have been played, each player counts all the points on the Fries and Graillon, and the winner is the one who has most!

Battle Fries is a fast-learned and fast-played game, that you can play with family and friends at the aperitif, just before eating delicious Belgian Fries and Sauces. Bon appétit!
