Slamwich is a real-time, pattern recognition card game such as Twitch, Set, and Bongo, with cards that are die-cut to resemble slices of bread topped with sandwich items, sandwich thieves, and sandwich munchers.

To play, deal the deck out as evenly as possible, then set any remaining cards aside. One by one, each player takes the top card of her deck and flips it onto a central pile. Under certain conditions, players race to slap the pile — creating a "slamwich", if you will — and typically whoever is first to do so claims all of the cards in the pile. These conditions are:

If the flipped card is identical to the card directly underneath it (a "double decker"), slap the pile.
If two identical cards have exactly one card in between them (a "slamwich"), slap the pile.
If a thief is placed on top of the cards, slap the pile.
If a muncher is revealed, the next player flips as many cards as the number on the muncher card. If she fails to turn over a muncher card, the previous player claims all of the cards; if she creates a slamwich or double decker, or she plays a thief, then everyone races to slap the pile.

If a player runs out of cards, she's out of the game. Whoever collects all of the cards wins.

A baking competition card game for 2-6 players, where players race to collect the right ingredients for their recipes before other players sabotage them.

Each player has 7 cards in their hand. These cards will be either ingredient cards that are used to complete their recipes, or strategy cards that the player can use to sabotage other players by stealing ingredients, spoiling ingredients, etc. Each player gets a recipe card laid on the table in front of them. When an ingredient is placed on the table, it becomes in play and vulnerable to other players actions.

On each players turn, they can do 2 actions. Those actions can be putting an ingredient in play, playing a strategy card, or replacing a card in their hand. At the end of their turn, they draw back up to 7 cards.

Each completed recipe is worth 1 point but there are "Blue Ribbon" cards and "Double Batch" cards that can give the player bonus points when a recipe is finished.

The first player to 5 points, wins!

The game includes 110 ingredient and strategy cards, and a collection of 24 recipe cards. The number of recipes could vary based on Kickstarter exclusive recipes, etc.

Game description from the publisher:

You've just been given a shot at being the head chef at the prestigious New York Slice pizza parlor. Now you and your fellow pizza chef wannabes have to make the most amazing pizzas...one slice at a time!

In New York Slice, each player slices pizzas into portions, giving their opponents first choice, while they take the leftovers. There are a dozen kinds of pizza to work with, from veggie to hawaiian to meat lover's, and each player decides if they want to eat or keep some of the slices, building the best collection of pizzas possible!

Each time a player slices a pizza, there's a different special to go along with it, whether it's allocated to one of the portions or placed on its own. Specials provide the player with special powers or points, such as calling dibs on a slice before the pizza is divided, getting one of the normally-out-of-the-game "mystery slices', having an opportunity to "sneak a slice" by moving it from one portion to another when they choose, and many more—there are 14 different "Today's Specials" in the game.

Some slices have anchovies on them (yuck!), which are worth negative points to anyone who collects them — but anchovies might show up on different pizza types you're collecting, so in order to have the majority of a type, you just might have to collect one with anchovies on it!

If you tie another player for the most slices of a type, neither of you gets any points — but a bunch of slices have two types of pizza on them, with each combo slice being worth half a slice of each type, which is great for breaking ties.

Most slices have pepperoni on them, which you can eat for points (instead of collecting to go for the majority of each slice type).
