Fry Thief is a game about poor life choices. Like that time you tried to eat healthy and ordered a salad and your friend ordered a burger and fries. In Fry Thief you fight over the fries. As the salad player you're trying to play cards that let you steal fries and as the burger & fries player you're trying to wolf down as many fries as possible so they can't be stolen. On your turn you play one card to try to steal or eat fries. At the end of your turn you draw a card. There are lots of combos like "Distraction" & "Look Over There" that let you steal a ton of fries if you play cards in the right order. There's also a lot of deck & hand manipulation cards like "I'm Not Done With That" which lets you pull a card out of the discard pile or "Insatiable Hunger" which lets you draw extra cards and play one immediately. When the shared deck runs out you shuffle the discard pile and create a new deck. You play until all the fries have been eaten and then count up victory points. The game is a 16 card micro game in a cute box.
