Food decks are the easiest first draft with someone who does not follow sport: everybody has a position, nobody needs any knowledge, and the disagreements start on the first card.

Our take on Thanksgiving Plate

Build the plate you'd actually fight for. The turkey is the centrepiece, but plenty of families will tell you the real prize is the stuffing, the mac and cheese or a slice of pecan pie, and this deck makes you put a price on that opinion. Five picks, $20, and every side dish is suddenly worth arguing about.

It covers the whole table on purpose: the classics, the regional sides like collard greens and cornbread, the desserts, and the dishes some families swear by and others have never seen, like ambrosia and Jell-O salad. Spend big on turkey and you might lose out on everything else, which is exactly the argument this draft is built for.
