'As I say in the video, this was filmed in an actual resturant. I wanted to edit it a little so you couldn\'t see exactly where I was but to keep this video genuine I left in the flubs. That being said, The number on the Dog cards is 0 - 20 but not all 20 numbers. Below is the written review. Let me know if you\'d like me to go back to my old format.  Food Fight  MFG:  Cryptozoic #of Players:  2-6 Age Range:  13+  Overall Construction: Food Fight is primarily a card game, that being said I\'ll start with the cards. The cards seem to be of average cardstock.  They shuffle well but if you get food or drink on them you will need to wipe them off very quickly. You will also get meal tokens, scoring mints, & a restaurant style sign all made of a thick, sturdy cardstock.  The rulebook is a glossy multi-page book with very helpful images giving examples of how gameplay works that help lessen the possible confusion the rules may cause. Lastly, the box. It is very sturdy and to fit the contents very well, it\'s even themed on the inside to look like a place setting.  My only real issue with the product itself is that you have to hang onto all internal packaging in order to keep the fit of the product in the box.   Gameplay: In Food Fight you command an Army of militant food stuffs trying to earn 10 victory points from battles over the course of the game.  At the start of the game each player selects their color plates and will receive 9 cards from the main deck of cards.  The cards you receive will be a mixture of Food Warriors & Instants (Condiments & Specials).  You then lay out 3 Battlefield cards. The battlefields will be a variety of meals (breakfast, lunch, & dinner). If you get multiples of the same meal they stack on top of each other and you will be fighting for however many stacks you have left. When you are trying to battle for a meal you will use your Food Warriors to build a team of up to 5 warriors that doesn\'t mean you can\'t use fewer warriors if you want to try to battle for more than 1 meal. The way you determine if you win the battle or not is by comparing the Yummieness of the battling warriors plus any of the bonuses from condiments or special conditions on the warriors cards. If you win a battle you will get an after meal mint. At the end of all confrontations whomever has the most mints wins the battle and takes the points for the battlefields. Once one player reaches 10 Victory Points they win the game.  You also need to be aware of The Dog cards. As they say in the rulebook you want to be eaten by humans. That being said, if a meal is uncontested then you have to battle The Dog. When battling the Dog the rules are the same, Your Yummieness vs the number on the Dog\'s card.    Yes/No Recommend: In just a few small words I would say, Very Much So. I like this game for several different reasons. Firstly the secret bidding and instants make it a game with alot of variety and plenty of replay value. Secondly, I am a big fan of parody and innuendo and this game is full of both. With Fighters like Major Wiener and General Tso Chicken,  instants like Candy Warhol & Greasy Rider, & battlefields like Bay of Pigs in a Blanket & The Battle of Little Big Corn you should be amused for hours.  Where To Get It: I will always say check at you local game/hobby shop first. If they don\'t have it and you have a week to wait by all means ask them to order it for you.  Buy directly from Cryptozoic\'s website at http://store.cryptozoic.com/product_p/foodfight_game.htm or you may also be able to get this from online retailers like Amazon or Ebay.  I hope you play and enjoy this game.'
