Pizza at the dinner table.
We love making homemade pizza.
Decorating a pizza with your own toppings to satisfy your own whim is simply fun and tasty. And if we everyone creates their own personal-sized pizza then there isn?t any fighting over any of the toppings.
However, that?s not the case with Pizza Theory.
In Pizza Theory it?s all about fighting for topping supremacy!
And what a fun fight it is.
But don?t take my word for it, see for yourself in this joint board game video review by Brooke and Caleb.
Can the whole family enjoy Pizza Theory?
Yes, they can!
Who's got the most in each slice?
Pizza Theory is simple to learn, easy to play, and fun for the whole family. It?s a board game with three simple steps:
- Place a topping
- Slice the pizza
- Switch out the toppings
So if your little tikes can place a topping on the pizza, select where to make their cut, and figure out which toppings are in the majority on each slice, then they can play and enjoy Pizza Theory.
Gryphon Games publishes great board games and card games for families, and Pizza Theory is no different. It has elements of both strategy and luck and doesn?t take too long to play. Once a player has all their toppings on the pizza, they win.
How much luck is involved in Pizza Theory?
Family board games are great when there?s enough luck to give all players a chance of doing well in the game. But what we like most in a family game is when that luck is balanced by good decisions. And Pizza Theory has a good balance between luck and strategy.
There's always a twist.
Planning ahead to how you?re going to slice the pizza impacts where you?ll want to place your topping. So good decisions will definitely help you progress. But you also need to anticipate where the other players will make their cut. If you can predict that correctly, then you?ll do great. However, as you know when playing with children ? you can?t always predict their moves.
Well, we?ve found that the same applies when playing with just adults. Not knowing where the other players will make their cuts is what keeps the game interesting and fun. In most of the games we play, there are moments during play that swing the balance of power between players. And those moments are always great. So even if you?re struggling early in the game, make your best moves and hope that luck will swing your way before the end.
Three is not a crowd
There aren?t many board games that are specifically designed for three players, but Pizza Theory fits that niche well. While there are rules for how to play a 2-player game of Pizza Theory, 3-players is where it?s at. So if you?re looking for a good 3-player family board game, place your delivery order now.
How does Pizza Theory score on the ?Let?s Play Again? game meter?
As you could guess, Pizza Theory scores high on our ?let?s play again? game meter. I don?t think we?ve ever stopped after just one play of Pizza Theory. It has simple mechanics, thoughtful decisions, good player interaction, a mix of luck, and plays quickly ? all things that make a game fun and easy to play over and over.
Thanks Gryphon Games for another great family board game!
