About the game

What you do in a play session

¡Buenos Dias! invites kids aged 6+ and their families to the chaotic realm of Los Mampfos, where three hungry donkeys compete to fill their bellies first. Each round lasts 20‑30 minutes, making it perfect for a quick gaming session. The board features three feeding tracks, and players draw cards showing different feed types. When a card is revealed, everyone must remember where each feed type is hidden among the face‑down piles. The first to recall correctly places the feed on the corresponding donkey, raising its satiety level. The goal is to keep the donkeys fed without letting any starve, because the hungriest donkey may be “swallowed” by the millstone at the end of the round. The memory mechanic is straightforward yet demands constant attention, as cards are reshuffled each turn, forcing players to update their mental map. Components are colorful and sturdy: feed cards, donkey miniatures, and a plastic millstone that spins at game’s end. The artwork is playful, with caricatured donkeys that add to the light‑hearted vibe. As a children’s game, the rules are explained in a few minutes, yet still provide a memory challenge that adults who enjoy light games will appreciate. Los Mampfos blends humor, minimal strategy, and a dash of friendly competition, making it ideal for family parties, school gatherings, or a quick warm‑up before a heavier title.
