Pick your top two choices and let them battle it out by advocating for why their card is the best!

CONDIMENT CARDS

WILD Cards

“Play keeps us vital and alive. It gives us an enthusiasm for life that is irreplaceable. Without it, life just doesn’t taste good.”

Food is such a rich representation of a culture. By expanding our knowledge of global cuisine we simultaneously broaden our connections to others. We made every effort to include a wide range of dishes that honor many cultures, techniques and resources. It was hard to narrow it down to 200, so if we missed a favorite dish, feel free to add it to the deck using the provided Blank Cards.
