Sandswitch is a game about food culture, sandwich building, and theft where you play as a hungry human hunting for sandwich ingredients in LA. Each player is assigned one of the following Character Cards: YOGA MOM, FRATWICH, CUISINA OBSCURA or 7-ELEVEN SANDWICH. Roll the dice to move across the board and collect sandwich ingredients that best match your perception of the character you were assigned. There are no right or wrong answers, only sandwiches and the sense that your taste is being judged. 

Would Yoga Mom eat a bacon and french bread sandwich? Maybe if she’s having a cheat day. Would Fratwich ever touch a vegetable? Only in secret. The goal is not to make your ideal sandwich, but you’ll probably end up doing that anyway.
