Lunch Money is an elimination-style card game designed by John Nephew and released in 1996 by Atlas Games. In 1997, Lunch Money jointly won the Origins Award for Best Card Game of 1996 in a three-way tie with Legend of the Five Rings: Battle of Beiden Pass and Mythos.
In the game every player controls a girl character with certain amount of "health" points, and take turns playing cards to "attack" other players. When a girl loses his health points she passes out. The last girl conscious wins the game.
The game's name derives from its theme, that of children involved in a schoolyard fight. There is also an expansion set called Sticks and Stones, and a sequel/expansion called Beer Money.
