This game is genius.  I will smite many sandwiches.

I introduced sandwich punch to one of my friends here.  We're very good natured about it, though.  It isn't so much about obliterating the other guy's sandwich as it is about confusing the other bar patrons.  He'll be having a bad day or something and I'll be like, "I know what will cheer you up" and then I genially slide my calzone toward him so that he can punch it.

I have a correction to make.  For me, this is the best part.  For my friend, it is the perverse amusement he gets from eating a sandwich with knuckle imprints in it.

It should perhaps be noted that, generally speaking, calzones are not "sandwiches" and are therefore not legal targets for punches.  Sandwiches consist of two separate pieces of bread (or similar layers, so Oreo cookies count as sandwiches).  Calzones, burritos, pirogies, tacos, and hot dogs are usually not sandwiches since their bread comes in one part.  Even if a taco shell breaks it's not a sandwich.  This rule may be waived if the item in question was ordered off the "sandwich" section of a menu or is otherwise labeled a sandwich by an authority (such as a restaurant) outside the game.

Similarly, quesadillas are sandwiches as long as they're made with two tortilla layers.  Subs are sandwiches because "sub" is short for "submarine sandwich."  Ice cream sandwiches, Oreos, and other sandwich cookies are all punchable, but if anyone puts down his or her Nutter Butter in the middle of eating it, they deserve whatever they get.

I'm pretty sure that calzones are in the sandwich section of the menu at the bar where we usually play sandwich punch.  If they're not, then we'll just have to be a heretic sect of the whole sandwich punch culture.

Punch now, argue later.

Mike "The Salad" Solomossy got his sandwich punched by Juan Rodrigiez this weekend. This is the best game ever.

Can I get a ruling on wraps?

I bought a wrap at Red Robin when I went out to eat with everyone in Connecticut and since it was purchased under the "Sandwich" category from the menu I had to keep it guarded at all times.

[Hi-Val]

Twaun: I was watching you, you didn't put that sandwich down once.
Juan Rod: yeah, I was waiting for you to put that down. You're lucky you were so hungry.
Me: Wait, we were playing?!?

[Mantis]

Alright just proposed this game for the road trip me and my friends are going to make, should be some fun times! Let's smash some sandwiches.

The "We were playing?" question should never come up.  Sandwich Punch is a lifetime commitment; once you're in, you're in.  The game is on at all times, and you should be on your guard accordingly.  This includes things like weddings, funerals, state dinners, and times when you're incapacitated by injury, illness, or foreign substance legal or illegal.  Ask Juan Rodriguez about this last one; he knows.

[Twaun007]

So, I was gaming at RIW and I got a text from Soly. "I just obliterated Chris Nighbors Sandwich". Priceless.

[M.Solymossy]

Chicken Sandwich from Burger King, actually.

"Can a sandwich be covered with another sandwich?

Yes, smart ass it can, but there are stipulations to this that will be made PERFECTLY clear. In the event that one of your friends thinks he's real funny and covers his sandwich with another all the rules can still apply. If the sandwich is covered with another sandwich, the top sandwich must not have a bite taken out of it. If they covered their half eaten sandwich with another sandwich that has a bite out of it, then the top sandwich is playable and can be removed by another player and set beside it to make two, very punchable sandwiches."

Can we instead punch the miniature sandwich tower? Must we split the tower into its component sandwiches?

[GrandpaBelcher]

Well, considering that no mercy is taken on a punchable sandwich situated over someone's groin, you can punch the top sandwich (if it's legal for you to do so), and if the force of that punch is carried through to the rest of the sandwiches in the stack, that's just physics.

Yes.  Punch away.

[Lou]

I got my first punch in this weekend, but the sandwich was on a big boulder. I blasted that fucker good, and my knuckles are still swollen and bruised.

Almost as good as that time I was so fucked up I didn't see Eric pick up his sandwich and blasted your fuckin' table good.

Wow, I saw people talking abour sandwich punching in a thread about proxies and thought it had something to do with insulting someone based on their playskill or making fun of a newcomer.  This, however, has got to be the most hillarious thing I've ever seen, and now that I have read the rules and understand the game I am honored to be included in this group of human beings known as "the sandwich punch community."  If any of you come to New England, my name is John Longo and count me in.  I might be at the upcoming TMD for day 2, and mabey even day 1; and if I can make it, I just may have to buy a sandwich and hope to remeber putting something on top of it when it is resting.  To be fair, can I get some names of people that are fair game?  The only person I recognize here is Sollymosey, but I've never met him so I really don't feel comfortable punching his sandwich (if he puts one down without putthing something on top of course).

One quick question.  When putthing an item on the sandwich for protection does it have to be  food related item, or can it be something like a piece of paper, a coin, or a 20 sided die?

[GrandpaBelcher]

One quick question.  When putthing an item on the sandwich for protection does it have to be  food related item, or can it be something like a piece of paper, a coin, or a 20 sided die?

The guard item can be pretty much anything as long as it's solid (e.g. not "air" or "oxygen" or "Coke" or "hopes and dreams") and not easily confused with part of the sandwich (e.g. not "sesame seeds" or "a bun top").  Usually it ends up being food related only because, well, you're eating so there are food-related items around.  Any of the items you listed would be an acceptable guard.

So sayeth the Book of Sandwich Punch, rule 4:

4. Once the sandwich is set down it must be covered with an object. Any object is welcome as long as it is an adament object. Example: you can put a ketchup packet on the sandwich but you can't just put ketchup on top of the sandwich. Sesame seeds don't count, don't be an asshole. Other examples of objects you can use: fries, forks, spoons, knives, salt or pepper packets, napkins, wrappers, A FRIKIN OBJECT OF ANY SORT!

As for sandwich punching at TMD, I'm not sure who's "in" from the New England area or who would be visiting.  There was a list of participants somewhere, but I'm not sure how current it is.  My best recommendation would be to watch how other people eat their sandwiches and keep your own sandwiches guarded at all times.

Beware Nat, for my sandwiches shall remain well protected.

This needs to be on page one!

[EnialisLiadon]

I love sandwich punch!  I've spread it like wildfire among my friends, and we take no mercy.  I keep score with people who have had sandwiches punched by me in the same way that Soly was doing in an earlier post.  I keep it current, and I'm hoping my friends will start doing the same.

We should come up with a Sandwich Punch score that rates your progession into Sandwich Punch fame.  More kills increases it, but each death (your sandwiches getting punched) have a negative effect on it.

[Twaun007]

I keep it current

I never talk about Sandwich Punch. The more you talk about it the more people are aware and the more aware people are the less chance you have of punching a sandwich.

I punched my Girlfriends McDonald's sandwich a few days ago.

[M.Solymossy]

Sandwich Punch:  Now on facebook.

[swawagon]

I believe I can speak for all of us...

That we all love and respect the sandwich. We mean no disrespect to bread and it's contents. We wish only to laugh at careless other's misfortunes.

[pierce]

thread necromancy or not,

I punched Twauns sandwhich. Seems like it's been about two years since someone could say that.

[IndykidVago]

I need a ruling on.

This is the "Gamestate"

my buddy started to build mini sandwiches from his lunchable.

so my question is.

Are assembled Lunchables punchable?
