Contraband Picnic

An artwork becomes the board, a dimension-hopping character the courier, and a grocery product the cargo whose nutrition grade rewrites victory.

Creation: creation_34fcd10e4f29a8a6b7bc7b269a752f95
Player action: Reveal the source cards, choose a route, then roll the die to escort the cargo across the artwork before inspection catches the courier.
Style cartridge: 🎲 Board Game · board-game
Novelty delta: The fixed records become interlocking tabletop rules and a spatial escort game, not a collection of source cards or a passive mashup.

Causal chain

1. articTurns the artwork title, era, and image into the destination board and route geometry.
2. rickandmortySupplies the courier identity, origin, status, and current location that determine movement traits.
3. open-food-factsDefines the cargo token and uses its nutrition grade to set inspection pressure and victory rules.

API roles

API	Operations	Essential role
artic	artwork	Provides the physical board, period flavor, and museum destination that all movement is staged across.

open-food-facts	product	Provides the cargo and grade-based rule modifier that determines inspection difficulty and scoring.

Dependency

open-food-facts → rules → rickandmorty: The cargo nutrition grade changes how many inspection spaces the courier advances after each roll, so the product rewrites survival rules.
