Toys and Games Reviews of Chomp
Customer Review: Welcome to the Food Chain
Summary: 4 Stars
Chomp is a fast card game that works best with three or more players but still has several variations for use with two players. The object is simple, get all of the cards. This is done by simulating the food chain in the ocean and being very quick to recognize cards and react faster than the other players. The chain is represented by plankton, shrimp, small fish, large fish, seals, and sharks. There are also electric eels and octopus ink that add some twists.
After the cards are evenly distributed among the players, they all reveal their top card simultaneously. This card represents them in the food chain. The object is to be the first player to slap their hand on the lowest link and yell "chomp!" That player gets to collect the cards played. There are penalties for chomping when you shouldn't or chomp the wrong thing. The player who is the lowest in the hand can't chomp anything.
If an octopus comes into play, its ink keeps everyone from getting eaten. These cards are held to the side and included in the next hand's winnings. If an electric eel is played, it starts a feeding frenzy (even if there is an octopus). The first player to slap the eel and yell "Feeding frenzy!" wins the hand. Play continues until there are only two players left with cards. The game can them be resolved in one of three ways.
Although this award-winning game is rated for ages six and up, my not-quite-four-year-old really enjoys playing and is able to hold his own. Check it out.
Description of Chomp
Plunge into a fast-paced undersea world where life is survival of the quickest. Identify the lowest creature in the food chain then slap it before other players scarf it down. Big fish chomp little fish and everyone chomps plankton. Watch out for the ink-squirting octopus and if you spot an electric eel, get ready for an all-out feeding frenzy! Collect all the cards and you're ruler of the deep blue sea! Chomp! Is a great tool to help teach children about the food chain. Players learn about the hierarchy of ocean species through employing skills such as visual discrimination and sequencing. It also helps to sharpen reflexes and teaches quick thinking and analysis while playing a fast-moving game. Reinforces: * Science * Hand-Eye Coordination * 2 to 5 players * Playing time: about 20 minutesIt's a shrimp-eat-plankton world out there, and small fry will easily get hooked on Chomp!, the fast and finny food chain card game from Gamewright. With this deep-sea deck depicting sharks, seals, and assorted big and little fishies, players can engage in several versions of the card game War (as in Portuguese man-of-) by flipping over a card from their school and being the first to devour something lower on the food chain played by an opponent. An electric eel instigates a feeding frenzy whereby even a little crawdad gets to take a bite out of a great white, but beware an Octopus Ink-Out--it muddies the water enough to penalize any player who attempts to chomp another. Versatile and easy to learn, Chomp! provides some silly sequencing fun for kids to sink their teeth into. --Tony Mason
