Crytpozoic Entertainment, publisher of the World of Warcraft TCG, is continuing its recently announced expansion into the board game category (see “Penny Arcade’s ‘The Lookouts’ Heads to the Hobby”) with the fall release of a new original board game Food Fight! The Food Fight! board game will be released concurrently with a digital version of the game for the iPhone, iPad, and Android.
In the Food Fight game up to six players draft entrees and plan side dishes to build a meal that will devour the competition. Players can enlist “Major Weiner” and “Private Pancake” to team up with “Mean Burrito,” but will that triumvirate stand a chance against “Badass Bacon?” When the culinary cohorts go into battle, garnishes and condiments provide the back up. But if a Dog enters the melee, a player’s meal could be in jeopardy.
Crytpzoic’s President and CCO Cory Jones sees Food Fight as a first step towards a future that involves the creation of new gaming concepts. “Building the humor of Food Fight was a labor of love. It really is an homage to the great parody trading card products of the 70s (Wacky Packages). I think players will dig just about everything this game has to offer from the fun mechanics to the funny characters and art, plus we are launching this in the physical and digital space simultaneously so it can be played anywhere, anytime.”
