cheeseendgame

/ˈtʃiːzˈɛndɡeɪm/nounVerified New

Also in: Käseendspiel (Deutsch) · quesomate (Español) · fromamat (Français)

The endgame played over the last of the cheese, won by whoever cuts first and least honestly.

The cheeseendgame begins when the block reaches slicing size. Players pass the fridge, consider, and leave it, valuing the last piece more than having it. Eventually someone grates the whole thing into one pasta bake, ending the game and the cheese together, to general respect.

Etym. — cheese + endgame — chess played at the back of the fridge.

Rel. — lastslicelaw · chipetiquette
