Food allergy munchkin

[jack]

I assume everyone's familiar with the card game Munchkin? Guess which veizla-negotiating star-munchkin-buying geek is proposing "Food allergy munchkin", Munchkin meets Zombie Fast Food!?

Classes are eg:
Non-vegetarian: able to eat meat dishes, may not accept help from vegetarians
Not-coeliac: able to eat wheat dishes, may not accept help from anyone
Gourmet: May always run away, but [extra bad stuff] if caught
Everyone starts off as allergic to most things and thin
Beating a monster means you gain one level = unit of weight, and win when you're replete
Monsters are meals, level represents how much you might not want to eat it. Eg
Gaint snails, level 13
Hot vindaloo, level 8
Steak and chips, level 3
Mint, level 1
Weapons are implements, garnishes, etc. Eg:
Fork: +1 (1 hand)
Knife: +1 (1 hand)
Gumption to drink directly from the plate: +3 (2 hands)
Any number of condiments: +1 each, 1 hand total.
One-offs are other actions, eg:
Tomato ketchup: play once, food gets +2 against gourmet, or -2 against anyone else
Food fight: play once when another player kicks down a door, they have to eat a card from your hand
Fumblefingers: Drop a one handed item

Unfortunately we seem to have achieved the "Too realistic to be fun" category :) But it's a nice idea when I get round to writing some extra munchkin cards :)

That sounds great, I'd draw the pictures :D

Plausible, and disturbingly simple.

I might be interested in contributings cards :) If you're not so worried about game balance (e.g. Munchkin) it would be quite easy to make too.
