I got Foodie Fight for Christmas and my friends and I have had great fun playing. You don't need to be a food fanatic or expert to have fun playing. I have learned things and had some great laughs at some of the questions and answers. I only wish they had another set of cards!

I recently attend a weekend cooking school where we played both Foodie Fight and the Trival Pursuit Game dedicated to food. Foodie Fight was much more fun, more interesting questions, better catagories and just the right difficulty. The school was attended by "foodies" and some new to cooking and all enjoyed the game. It's a winner!

Saw this at xmas time and thought it would be a fun gift for a family member. I was worried that the questions would not be challenging enough being that the person is a consumate foodie, as is another family member who would be present during the holiday. We played the game and even they couldn't answer all the questions!
Game is designed really well, good variety of questions even for the novice foodie and I like how you can play a short game or a long game.
Good fun!

Gave this as a gift to my brother who is a masterful chef. He enjoyed it. Good gift idea for those who cook.

This game is fun, but can go on for a long time to the difficulty of some of the questions!

This game is for SERIOUS food lovers. I bought this for my wife last year and we were very excited to receive it. We really enjoy watching Food Network and other cooking shows, so we figured that this would be a great way to have fun on game nights. And it is....after a fashion. We found many of the questions to be somewhere between challenging and insanely difficult. After playing several rounds without anyone getting anything right, we had to relax the rules to move the game along. Even then, we had to be pretty generous with interpreting answers. We had fun after a little while, but it took time to get going Additionally, one of the categories (Company's Coming) seems out of place; it focuses on etiquette and rules for entertaining.
The game can be fun and educational, but can also be frustratingly hard for those of who haven't been to culinary school. As some others have noted, this isn't a good game to try playing with people who aren't REALLY in to food.

My wife and I enjoy playing this food trivia game, which test one's knowledge of a broad range of cooking-related topics including cooking ingredients, celebrity chefs, restaurant service, and wine selection. When you play you learn new things in a fun-filled way. Particularly valuable are the questions on table etiquette, culinary science, and nutrition. However, the questions are uneven in level of difficulty. Some of the tough queries concern such items as a French chef, a little-known food author, an obscure movie, or a lesser-known type or style of food. This is compensated for by a substantial number of true or false and multiple choice questions. The popular culture questions can be deceptive or just plain difficult, but answers are often within the realm of knowledge of the average person.

A good thing about the game is that it does not come easy for the winner. There are six categories, and the player who gets three questions correct in all six categories fills his six cardboard dinner plates and wins. Answering a question correctly means another turn. However, players who get a question in a category they have completed must still answer the question correctly to get another question, hopefully in an uncompleted category. Therefore, a player who gets ahead often finds other players will quickly catch up. This provides the sort of end-of-the-game competition that everyone will enjoy.

Had a lot of laughs over the game after Christmas dinner (gift to my daughter - a foodie)

I gave this game as a gift and was worried that it would be another one of those trivia games with either really easy questions or really hard ones. It was neither. The questions were legitimate. I mean, they had some really easy ones and some harder ones to challenge you to think and learn. We ended up not using the game pieces and just reading question after question to each other. It was fun. There were about the same number of questions that you would get in one reading box from Trivial Pursuit. I'd definitely recommend this game. It's ended up being a hit!

Outstanding game! I purchased this as a gift for my fiancee - who is a hardcore foodie. The categories are diverse and even the non-foodie will enjoy playing. In fact, the non-foodies in our family seemed to do better at the food in movies and TV questions! And some of the question were advanced so even the foodies were challenged! Lots of fun!
