Ham Fisted (2024)

In Ham Fisted, you're a butcher on your way to the renowned Porkshire market when disaster strikes - your van breaks down! Now, you must carry as much of your precious produce to market as possible. Choose wisely and make every cut count! Gameplay highlights Setup: Shuffle and deal six cards to each player Rounds: Play rounds "in hand," arranging cards to maximise your score within a 5x5 grid. Scoring: Connect produce orthogonally, arranging your bacon in pairs, ribs in threes, and isolating legs of ham. All while attempting to display the most sausages. Dexterity Challenge: By the end of the round, you must hold all your cards between one finger and thumb. You must be able to flip your hand without dropping any cards. Beware! If a card ever falls from your hand, you can't pick it up. There’s no five-second rule here! Dropped food is lost food! Endgame: Tally scores to determine who becomes the Master Butcher of Porkshire. —description from the designer
