バナナはおやつに入りますか？(Do Bananas Count As A Snack?)

バナナはおやつに入りますか？ (Banana wa o yatsu ni hairimasu ka?) is a card game from Japan, in which players must face a philosophical dilemma that has tormented humanity since the dawn of time. Do bananas count as a snack food?

In this game, the players are elemnetary school children, buying snacks to take on their school trip. They have some money and a variety of snacks choices in the shop. As well the usual chocolate bars, sweets and corn snacks, there are bananas. They must use their money wisely, and buy good value snacks, and not have too much change left over.

If a player buys some bananas, will they count as positive or negative points at the end of the game? It depends on the other children. If several children buy bananas, they count as 2 pts. But in not enough buy bananas, they count as -1 pt. Players must balance their need to spend, against the risk of elementary school childrens' opinions on bananas as snack food. user summary
