Pros and cons
What we like
- 75 recipes, from bar bites and finger foods to shareable meals
- Fantasy names like Goblintzes and Genasi's Delight
- Dishes designed for one-handed eating during a session
- Written by the authors of A Dragon Walks into a Bar and Düngeonmeister
What may bother
- Fantasy theming means the book is aimed squarely at RPG groups
- Finger food focus, with fewer options for a sit-down dinner
- A cookbook, so it needs a cook in the group
Our verdict
84 / 100A distinctive gift for someone who hosts game nights and enjoys cooking. Don't pick it for a person who plays but never cooks, or vice versa.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an experienced cook to use it?
The recipes are aimed at home cooks hosting a game night, not professional-level cooking.
Is it tied to a specific RPG system?
It is designed as a general tabletop RPG game-night companion rather than tied to one specific game.

How we score
The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
