Kawaii – Who Will Scoop the Most Ice Cream? 🍦💗

Sweet, fast and a little bit sneaky – Kawaii is a real-time pocket card game from Helvetiq for 3 to 5 players aged 6 and up, with ice creams so cute you will want to collect them all.

At the start, everyone secretly gets a favourite flavour and a favourite shape and has to remember them. Then players take turns flipping ice cream cards from their own pile into a slightly fanned stack in front of them. As soon as a stack looks tasty to you, slap a heart token on it, shout »Kawaii!« and capture all its cards – then hand your token to the player whose stack you took. You may only use one hand, and several players can grab at the same moment. Cherries bring bonus points, but the closed-shop cards cost you a point each, unless you collect all three. After three rounds the highest score wins. A game takes about 15 minutes.
