Mmm! (EN)

Mmm! invites players to help Charlie the mouse on a mission that is both adorable and suspenseful: gather all the food from the pantry before the family’s big black cat arrives. This charming cooperative board game turns every dice roll into a shared decision where the whole family must work together to succeed.

Each turn, players roll three custom dice showing different food symbols. The results allow players to cover pieces of cheese, fish, cucumber, bread, and carrots displayed on the board. Completing entire food items buys the players valuable time before the cat moves closer to the pantry.

The push-your-luck mechanism is perfect for younger players. After placing at least one die, players may choose to reroll the remaining dice in hopes of getting better results. However, if no dice can be placed, the cat immediately advances. This creates light tension and exciting moments that keep everyone engaged throughout the game.

Its simple and intuitive cooperative structure helps children develop teamwork, communication, and group problem-solving skills. The game also includes a double-sided board that increases the challenge level as children become more experienced players.

Accessible from age 5 and up, Mmm! is an excellent introduction to modern family board games. The rules can be taught in only a few minutes, yet each game remains suspenseful until the cat’s final movement toward the pantry.

You will likely enjoy Mmm! if you are looking for a simple, fast, and entertaining cooperative game to play with younger children. It is an excellent choice for families who enjoy accessible gameplay mixed with teamwork and a little tension.

Mmm! was designed by legendary game designer Reiner Knizia, one of the most prolific and respected creators in modern board gaming, known for Lost Cities, Quest for El Dorado, and Ra. The warm illustrations by Andreas Resch bring tremendous personality to the mice, the colorful food, and the intimidating black cat chasing players throughout the game.

The game was also nominated for the prestigious 2016 Kinderspiel des Jahres award and won the 2015 Spiel der Spiele Game of the Year award, two major recognitions in children’s gaming.
