P for Pizza from Big Potato Games is a nice lightweight game for 2-4 players, ages 8 and up that plays in about 10 to 20 minutes. I have been looking to Big Potato Games a lot recently for their lightweight party games that pack a lot of punch in some relatively small boxes. Big Potato Games is a Certified B Corporation and my copy of the game also was entirely plastic free. Even the stickers used were plant based. I also appreciate that P for Pizza is designed for those experiencing color blindness in mind. It may be a small game, but a lot of thought went into this little guy.
What’s In the Box?
- 80 Pizza Cards
- 1 Rule Sheet
- Instructions
Setup
Take about half of the cards in the box and place them category side up in the center of the playing area. Then flip over one card for each side of the pizza, letter side up. You are ready to begin! Start the game by discarding the top card and game play begins immediately.
Objective
The objective of P for Pizza is to be the first player to combine 6 slices to make a whole pizza. You do this by being the first player to correctly use a word that matches one of the categories of the letter show on the pizza slice. For example if the letter was C and the category was ice cream, a player could say chocolate to win the card. After each card is won, the next card is taken off of the top to being the next round. Add cards remaining in the box to the center pile, if the pile runs low.
The colors on the cards coordinate to the difficulty of the level, green being easy, yellow being medium and red being hard. They are also marked with letters as E for easy, M for medium and H for hard. When you are placing your pizza slices in front of you, you’ll need 3 easy, 2 medium and 1 difficult to complete your pizza. The first player to complete their pizza wins!
Final Thoughts
We were a split table on P for Pizza. I felt it played in nicely to my ADHD and need to blurt everything out at once. J, who likes to think before he speaks, felt the game moved too fast. I think with this game, it is all about knowing who is at the table. I believe this game would play nicely with a younger group of players. I love that it is a small box game, making it easy for travel. I also judge a lot of games on my Brewery Scale, which is just “Would I play this at a brewery?” and the answer for P for Pizza is absolutely a yes! While not a requirement, some brews may even add to the enjoyment of the game!
