Curious Gastronaut
The Curious Gastronaut is a card game that invites children and families to explore food through play. Following prompts on illustrated cards, players gather ingredients, combine them into bite-size edible experiments, name them and examine them with all five senses. Recipes and reactions are then rated and recorded. The game can be played with real food or purely through imagination, in solo, collaborative or competitive modes. No specific dishes are named, so players invent from the ground up. The compact box suits small hands and travel.
