Yummy World: Party at Picnic Palace
2-4 players | Ages 8+ | 20 minutes
Publisher: WizKids, 2017
Yummy World is a deliciously fun world made up of a unique cast of food characters. Yummy World is set in the magical town of Sprinkle Tree, a magically yummy place where food is fun and fresh-baked friendships and adventures meet. Yummy World: Party at Picnic Palace is a fun game in which you flip over cards to reveal all the different and delicious characters of Yummy World. When you see a set you like, grab it! But don't wait too long, or someone else will nab them first! Collect sets of the same character to score big points. The rarer the card, the more you will score as you collect!
I was asked to design a game for the Yummy World line of toys, and I decided to revisit some of the set collection ideas I had explored in Sushi Go! and Archaeology. I was also inspired by the excellent Coloretto by Michael Schacht. I love the central dilemma of that game: Do I take a group of cards now, or do I make the group bigger for everyone else? The result is a really simple and cute little card game that I still enjoy playing.
