In Yakimess, we're a group of friends who went out to dinner at our favorite Japanese restaurant, only to discover they only have one plate of Yakimeshi (mexican/japanese fried rice dish) for everyone. So, we'll have to fight over the ingredients using chopsticks to be the player who can eat the most of this delicious dish.

This is a game of dexterity, speed, and strategy where 2 to 6 players compete simultaneously during 5 frantic rounds using chopsticks to pick up dice-shaped ingredients from a bowl and simulate eating Yakimeshi. The goal is to place these ingredients on our personal plates and complete patterns and challenges as efficiently as possible to be the first to finish and score more points than the others by taking the highest score soy sauce token that gives you extra points during the round.

Plus, each round will have a special rule of playing that will add even more mess to the table, like playing with your non-dominant hand, playing standing up, or even with the plate on your hand. So, do you think you're ready to become the Yakimaster?
