There are strange noises coming from the attic at your grandpa’s summer house. After climbing the stairs, you see colorful and furry Monsters everywhere! They seem to be friendly…. but also really hungry! You must feed them whatever you can find. They will eat anything, but what attracts them the most is the color of objects!
Yummy Yummy Monster Tummy is a co-operative card game of color matching for 2-4 players. Your goal is to complete each level by feeding all of the Creatures foods they like.
Each level consists of several Creatures that you must feed. Once a Creature opens its mouth, it’s ready for you to feed it! In any order, each player chooses one Item card from their hand to feed to the Creature by scanning the card’s QR code, which is located on the back of the card. When feeding a Monster, you must feed it Item cards that combine and mix into a color that is similar to the Monster’s fur color. If you feed a Monster a mix of Items that do not result in a mixed color that is similar to their fur color, all players lose the game and must start the level over again.
You can play Yummy Yummy Monster Tummy in either Story Mode or Party Mode. In Story Mode, there are 12 levels waiting for you. You will follow the story and unlock new Locations and Items by completing levels. On higher levels, you will also meet new Creatures. Some of them have exciting special abilities that provide additional fun challenges!
In Party Mode, you can play a single game session using all of the Items you have unlocked so far. This allows you to experience the game without worrying about the story.
