How to play the food draft

The food draft is the version of the $20 draft that needs no explanation at a dinner table. Each player opens a restaurant with five picks, and the vote is simply: where are we eating tonight?

Food alone rarely wins. A restaurant with the world’s best pizza and nothing else loses to one with good burgers, a rooftop location and a karaoke stage, because people are voting for a night out. Spread your money across what is on the plate, where it is and what happens there.

The last ten options are the reviews you do not want: tiny portions, plastic chairs, a menu only in riddles. Keep a dollar back so they do not all land on your menu.

The full rules, including what happens when a player runs out of money, are in how to play the 20 dollar draft.

Your Restaurant: bidding tips

One great dish is enough

Buy a headline dish, then spend on the experience. Two mains in one set rarely earn twice the votes.

Location carries the night

An underwater dining room or a restaurant on a boat turns an ordinary menu into a booking. Locations are often cheaper than desserts.

Watch the bad reviews

One toilet for the whole restaurant can undo a perfect menu. Make your rival pay to avoid it.
