UMAMI

2-5 Players | Age 10+ | 20-30 Minutes

UMAMI is a quick, family-friendly card game for 2–5 players (ages 10+, 20–30 minutes) where you create tasty three‑ingredient dishes to attract animal guests and score stars by matching their preferences — and you’re allowed to “borrow” special ingredients from opponents to complete the best recipes.

• Designer: Don Eskridge
• Players / Time / Age: 2–5 players | 20–30 minutes | 10+
• Core loop: Build dishes using only three ingredients, attract guests by matching their favorite tastes, and score stars and umami points.
• Interaction: High — you may take (borrow) ingredients from other players to complete dishes and disrupt rivals.
• Appeal: Fast setup, easy rules, tactical choices and hand management, strong replayability; good for casual family game nights and light strategy sessions.
