About Who is for Dinner: Food Chain Game
It’s a buzzy, hands-on card game that gets everyone leaning in to figure out who’s the predator and who’s the prey. You’ve got a deck of colorful animal cards and a stack of environment cards—think savannah, rainforest, arctic tundra, that sort of thing—each one laying out a tiny food chain. The moment someone flips an environment card, you all glance at your hand and try to spot who belongs where in that ecosystem.
On go, everyone slaps an animal card face-up at the same time. If your card is prey to someone else’s, you pass it to them; if it’s the hunter, you pass it in the opposite direction; if it’s neither, you hold onto it. Cards zip around the table so fast that you’ll find yourself learning who eats what simply by reflex, and the first player to shed their entire hand scores the win for that round.
What makes it sparkle is how it sneaks in a bit of ecology without ever feeling like a lesson. Before long, you’ll be yelling “Wait, the shark eats the seal, right?” or “Oh man, I forgot butterflies just sip nectar!” in the heat of the moment. It’s that split-second scramble to remember your food-chain basics that turns every round into a giggle-filled hustle.
Perfect for family game night or a classroom crib-sheet in wildlife relationships, it’s seriously easy to teach and even easier to play again and again. Shuffle, deal, flip, and you’re off on another round in under sixty seconds—ideal if you want something fast, frantic, and surprisingly educational.
