Board Game Review: Churrascaria

The game components next to the game box. The box has an illustration of several large skewers of various types of meat. The components show the food deck with a few cards face up, the action/reaction deck with a few cards face up, the six food request tokens (three on sim - the 'yes' side - and three on não - the 'no' side), and a basic rules and a turn actions card.

A friend of mine, David Thomas, is one of the founding members of Absurdist Productions. This company recently produced, as a result of a successful Kickstarter campaign, a game called Churrascaria. That word, pronounced CHEW-huh-scar-EE-uh, refers to a Brazilian Steakhouse. This game is about diners eating at a churrascaria, earning points for gorging on meat and losing points for eating sides and desserts.

Bear with me, I'll expound on that in a moment.

But much to my surprise, I recently realised that I have not yet written a review of that game! So, in order to rectify that error, I shall review it now. Starting, as we always start, with the numbers.
