Game night pizza + greasy fingers = card trauma

Someone brought Detroit-style pizza to game night. Delicious. Deadly. Now my copy of a perfectly innocent card game has one corner that looks like it survived a fryer.

Yes I should've sleeved years ago. Yes I'm the villain for bringing nice games to a pizza war zone. I contain multitudes and they're all oily.

What's your actual protocol for food + games? Eat first then play? Finger foods only? Ban red sauce like a fascist?

Also recommend snack foods that don't destroy cardstock — besides 'carrots' because I'm not running a wellness retreat.

Semi-serious: how do you tell friends 'please don't touch my cards like you're seasoning chicken' without sounding like a serial killer.
