The Games

Three small ways to pass the time with real food. Nothing here is invented: every number on the table is a corpus number — per 100 g, sourced, and marked ~ when it's an estimate. Losing teaches the same thing the kitchen does, just faster.

Food Chain
Snake, but your tail is your carbon. Bank protein aisle by aisle; cook a real dish to trim the trail; try not to die of your own footprint.

Today's Plate
One board a day, same for everyone: out-cook the takeaway — bank its protein under 1.5× its carbon, then share the emoji strip.

Top Shelf
The corpus dealt as a trumps-style deck. Call a stat, better number takes the trick — or print the sheets and play it at the kitchen table.

The Kitchen Sim
The original: the letters of cubud as maze walls, the waster binning what you don't reach, and the macro-spill rule — gorge on one thing and the others drain.
heritage · where it all started

Numbers from FSANZ / USDA / Agribalyse via the Cubud corpus; footprints marked ~ are Cubud cascade estimates; a food with no number says so, and never plays a zero. Generic foods only, raw stats only, no composite scores — the numbers judge, we only deal the cards.
