About this game

Stew has everyone reaching into the same simmering pot of ingredient cards, drawing one more for a better dish while praying you do not pull the one that spoils everything. Remembering what has already gone into the pot becomes your real edge, since a good memory tells you exactly how much risk is actually left. It is quick, cheap to print and play, and carries that classic push-your-luck squirm where you know you should stop and reach in anyway. Rounds fly by fast enough that a ruined stew just means another one starts within seconds.
