Trivia

• Play with Your Food is often abbreviated as the initialism "PWYF".
• Play with Your Food generally does not deplete Tokens on Attacks that are inherently unable to damage Survivors when they hit.
  The exception to this is Victor's Pounce Attack, but this is due to technical reasons.
• As The Template:IconLink: each individual usage of a Charge during the Chainsaw Sweep is considered a separate attack and will deplete a Token each.
• As The Template:IconLink: each individual usage of a Charge performing a Lethal Rush is considered a separate attack and will deplete a Token each.
  • The charge is lost when using the Charge, not when initiating an attack, so missing a Lethal Rush Attack or not initiating one does not prevent the loss of a Token.
• As The Template:IconLink: Victor is not considered as a Killer by Play with Your Food.
  • This makes it possible to gain Tokens by switching back-and-forth between Charlotte and Victor, which breaks the Chase on the Obsession.
  • Victor does not benefit from the Movement Speed bonus, but also does not deplete any Tokens when pouncing.
