Eat Wear Burn

Defeat the winter cold by choosing wisely how to utilize the resources you scavenge.

In this card game you must balance how you will use each resource you come across to best survive the cold, harsh winter. You just found a cabbage. Will you burn it for heat, wear it to block the icy wind, or eat it to soothe your ever growing hunger? You get to decide in this fun survival card game.

How To Play

In this game you must attempt to survive using the items you scavenge. Each item may be eaten, worn or burned to help you survive.

Setup: 

• Shuffle all the Item cards and place them into the Item Draw pile. 
• Shuffle all the weather cards and place them into the the Weather Draw pile.
• Place one token on each of the trackers(Hunger, Health and Temperature) in the middle position.

Winter lasts 3 months. Each months is 4 weeks. 

Start of a Month: Draw cards from the item pile into your hand until your hand contains 12

Start of a Week: Each week draw a weather card and add it to the active weather pile. then play cards from your hand to the Eat, Wear, and Burn piles. Each pile may contain up to three cards. you may play as many cards as you want in a turn but be careful because you won't get any new cards until the end of the month.

Once you are satisfied with your choices each pile is resolved in the order Eat, Wear, Burn and then the health tracker is adjusted based on the hunger and temperature trackers. 

Resolving the piles:

1. The Eat Pile: subtract the number of drumsticks from your temperature tracker from the total number of drumsticks on the cards in your eat pile  and move your hunger tracker up that many spaces.
2. The Wear Pile: Wearing things blocks the wind which is important because wind amplifies the cold . The number of coats on the wear pile will cancel out the wind from the active weather pile.
3. The Burn Pile: If there is any wind left, multiply the cold  from the active weather cards by the remaining wind. Subtract the resulting cold from the total heat  on your burn cards and move the temperature tracker that many spaces.
4.  The Health Tracker: Once the Hunger and Temperature trackers have been updated it is time to update the health . Use the health values from the hunger and temperature trackers and move your health tracker the indicated number of spaces.

Winning The Game: You win the game when you finish your third month alive.
