Fun for the whole family! An exciting food-carrying adventure with the German-born cooperative board game "Mmm!"

"Mmm!" is a cooperative board game that originated in Germany and can be enjoyed by children aged 5 and over, as well as adults. The game, which is available in both German and English, is characterized by the fact that the whole family can play together.

Game Story

The story of this game is quite endearing. Players help a house mouse named Charly carry food from the Maier family's pantry to his own storage area. But they must act quickly to avoid being spotted by the family's nasty black cat. This sense of urgency is what makes the game so enjoyable.

Number of players and target age

It's a cooperative game that can be played by one to a maximum of six players, and everyone works together to achieve a goal. It's recommended for ages 5 and up, but special rules are available for children 7 and up, allowing for age-appropriate difficulty levels. Each game lasts approximately 15 to 20 minutes, the perfect length for keeping players focused and having fun.

Game Contents

• 1 double-sided printed game board
• 56 mouse chips
• Three dice
• 1 cat figurine

The dice have six different pictures on them - bread, fish, cucumber, cheese, carrot, and a red X - which represent the food items that can be carried.

How to play the game

The way to play the game is very simple. Players roll the dice and cover the last square of the food item they roll to remove it. If they do not cover the last square or place the dice, the cat will move one square. The goal is to remove as much food as possible before the cat reaches the food storehouse.

End-of-game evaluation

At the end of the game, players' performance is evaluated based on the amount of food carried and the distance to the cat's food pantry. This evaluation system gives players goals to strive for and adds to the replayability of the game.

Awards

"Mmm!" was recognized for its excellent game design, winning the Spiel der Spiele (Best Game) award from the Wiener Spiele Akademie (Vienna Game Academy) in 2015. It was also nominated for the Kinderspiel des Jahres (Grand Children's Game Award) in 2016, and has received high praise from experts.

The appeal of cooperative games

Because it's a cooperative game, players can help each other and communicate as they progress. Rather than competing to win or lose, everyone works together to achieve a goal, making it a great way to deepen bonds with family and friends. For young children, it's an opportunity to develop their thinking and planning skills, and for adults, it's a great activity to share fun time with their children.

A balance of luck and strategy

The balance between luck and strategy is exquisite, and it's fun to think about which food to prioritize while feeling happy or sad about the dice roll. Another great attraction of this game is that it allows you to experience a variety of emotions, such as the excitement of seeing a cat approaching and the sense of accomplishment when you successfully carry out the food.

Useful in a variety of situations

"Mmm!" is perfect for a variety of occasions, including family get-togethers, children's birthday parties, and family gatherings. While the rules are simple, the game's depth and long-lasting enjoyment make it a beloved board game in many homes. Join Charly the mouse on a thrilling food-carrying adventure!
