About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a rather peculiar meal in Tasty Humans! In this tile-laying and pattern-recognition game, you and up to three friends take on the roles of hungry monsters in a fantasy world. The goal? To satisfy an insatiable appetite for... well, humans! Each round, you'll have to choose which brave (or not-so-brave) adventurers will become your dinner. But it's not just about gobbling them up! Each monster has a specific palate, with cravings that dictate how body parts should be arranged in their stomach to ensure maximum satisfaction. Throughout the game, you can also attract powerful leaders who bring extra bonuses, making digestion even more enjoyable. The monster that manages the most satisfying feast, filling its stomach efficiently and pleasantly, will be the grand winner. With quick games lasting 30 to 60 minutes and a medium complexity rating, Tasty Humans is a fun choice for those who enjoy a strategic challenge with a touch of dark humor and an unusual theme. It's a game that tests your ability to plan and adapt to available options, all while assembling your perfect 'dish'.
