## Description
In Yum Yum Island, you and your friends must join forces to feed a hungry fauna before a greedy giant devours all the food! Taking on the role of altruistic pelicans, your mission is to ensure each animal receives the right meal. The game features super creative cardboard cutouts for each animal, with a raised section marking the mouth and indicating, with green and red numbers, the exact amount of vegetarian or meat-based food they need. Each round, a die is rolled to set the difficulty level, and then the active player puts on a blindfold – yes, you read that right! With vision blocked, you scoop up a portion of colored food tokens (red and green) and try, with great tact, to deposit the food directly into the animal's mouth. Any piece that falls out or isn't the right type of food ends up in the giant's belly, which is bad for your score. But don't worry, the die roll can offer a ray of hope, allowing other players to give valuable tips like 'Move left!' or 'Pull your hand back!', or even letting the player recover some lost food. It's a race against time and against the giant, where coordination and communication are key to success!
