Nomineres for brugen af dets "food line," og de simple men alligevel komplekse handlinger der manipulerer den. Det at spille Feasting Fiends er som at lære at spille et instrument med kun fire toner, men hvor tingene ikke har lyst til at spille sammen, og hvert træk kan ende i mislyd. Det du står tilbage med, er et væld af strategier og kædereaktioner, der gør ondt helt ind i spillernes hjerner, på den fede måde.

Is nominated for its use of the food line, and the simple, yet complicated actions that manipulate it. Playing Feasting Fiends is like learning to play a musical instrument with only four keys, yet the food line just doesn't want to play nice and every action can feel like the wrong note. What you are left with is a plethora of strategies and chain reactions that hurt the players' brains, in a good way.

I Feasting Fiends bygger man et bånd af madvarer, der skal fodre en gruppe notorisk kræsne monstre. Med kun fire mulige handlinger på et givet tidspunkt, starter tingene simpelt nok, men snart viser mekanikerne sig at være djævelsk komplicerede. Og tingene bliver ikke lettere af, at din modstander også manipulerer det samme bånd og bliver ved med at kaste enorme mængder grus i maskineriet. Den bedste slags frustration, men samtidigt giver det også mulighed for en himmelsk følelse når det hele lige præcis passer sammen i et enkelt perfekt træk.

In Feasting Fiends, you construct a food line to feed a group of notoriously picky fiends. With only four available actions at any time, things start out simple and are easy to get into, but soon the machine turns out to be devilishly complicated, and things aren't helped by your opponent who is also manipulating the same food line, constantly throwing a wrench in your otherwise well laid out plans. The best kind of frustrating fun, but also that superb sense of satisfaction, when it all lines up for that one, perfect move.
