The ice cream van is calling, but can you grab your favourite treats before they melt away? Kawaii is a quick, engaging small box travel game where players race to collect ice creams matching their secret favourite flavour or shape. Add valuable cherries to your collection for bonus points, but watch out for the dreaded closed shop!
 
At the start of the game, each player receives a secret favourite flavour plus shape, then takes a stack of cards to create their own growing ice cream pile. Cards are revealed one at a time, creating tempting collections across the table. When the moment is right, use your heart token to capture a pile belonging to yourself or another player then add those ice creams to your collection.
 
Timing is everything. Watch the piles grow, remember which cards are appearing and then make your move before another player snatches the collection you want. A valuable pile can disappear in seconds, so hesitation could leave you with melted hopes instead of a winning score.
 
Once every card has been played, the piles are scored according to your favourite ice cream characteristics, with cherries providing extra points. Kawaii combines set collection, memory, observation plus quick decision-making in a compact card game that is perfect for holidays, family trips and casual game nights.
 
Will you collect the perfect combination of flavours, shapes and cherries before all the ice cream melts away?
