Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Mmm!, players take on the roles of mice sneaking food from the Smith family's pantry while avoiding the black cat. Each turn, players roll dice and place them on food spaces matching the dice symbols. You can reroll dice as long as you place at least one each time. If you fail, the cat moves closer. The game offers two-sided boards for easy or harder play, adapting to kids' growing skills.
Who Is This Game For?
Mmm! is a family game suitable for children aged five and up, playable solo or with up to six players. With a short playtime around 20 minutes and simple rules, it's accessible for beginners and enjoyable for families looking for a quick cooperative experience.
How It Works
On your turn, roll three dice and place at least one die on a food space matching its symbol. You may reroll any remaining dice as long as you place at least one die each time. If you cannot place any die, the cat advances. The goal is to cover all food spaces with mouse tokens before the cat reaches the pantry. This combines dice rolling, cooperative play, and push-your-luck mechanics.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Reiner Knizia, Mmm! won the 2015 Spiel der Spiele Game of the Year award. Its cooperative dice rolling with push-your-luck elements is tailored for children and families. Two game board sides provide adjustable difficulty, enhancing replayability.
