{"product_id":"umami","title":"Umami","description":"\u003cp\u003eFire up your stalls under a full moon in a rustling forest! Ramen, takoyaki, miso soup, and more sizzle as you race to serve dishes packed with umami — that savory taste that makes mouths water and crowds gather.\n\nIn Umami, you will whip up the tastiest dishes possible of just three ingredients each. Spot a better bite? \"Borrow\" it off a rival's plate! Forest denizens have special tastes, so match your ingredients to their appetites to win them over!\n\nIn more detail, start with four ingredient cards in hand; ingredients range from 1-9, with each card also having a star, steal, or blossom icon. Four ingredient cards are in a face-up market. Each player has a secret \"favorite\" card, with four favorites in a face-up market; each favorite shows three cards that make up the dish they want, e.g., two medium (4-6) and a high (7-9), with the highest total possible.\n\nOn a turn, play one ingredient from your hand and another from the market, creating over time at most five dishes of three cards each. (You can replace a card in a dish, if desired.) Once per turn, you can discard a card with a steal icon to take an opponent's ingredient and add it to your dish; they draw and play a replacement card. As soon as you qualify for a favorite on display, place it in front of that dish, which keeps others from stealing your ingredients...although they can still steal the favorite by having a dish that better meets their tastes or has more blossoms in it.\n\nWhen the last favorite is claimed or someone has a full table, everyone reveals their secret favorite, then run through one more round, after which the player with the most stars — summed from ingredients played and favorites claimed — wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.40 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Don Eskridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HeidelBÄR Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51925860745432,"sku":"SB-54E544932B60-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/7h6e9vc1hcao718kld5o0gh7pyam.jpg?v=1785459338","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/umami","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
