Big Potato Nice Buns: Light Family Strategy Game for Families and Adults

Very cute and fun. A bunch of us (adults) got together for game night and this one was a highlight because the rounds are fast & competitive. Even though it's an adorable game, the play can be cutthroat.

We love this game! Simple yet strategic!

I played this at a friend's house and it was so much fun that I bought my own copy. It's quite easy to learn and the game moves fast enough that no one gets bored while waiting for their turn.

I lived in China for five years, so when I saw a game about one of my favorite foods, steamed stuffed buns, I had to buy it. You're trying to gather three sets of colored steamed buns on your mat. There are three dice of varied sizes and tasks. On your turn, you roll the three dice and decide how to separate them. You must be strategic here because the person to your left will decide which die/dice they want first. Tasks are completed from smallest to largest die. You may draw, trade, or steal depending on the dice, but beware the fish bun. The fish bun makes your other buns stinky so you cannot place them on your mat. Buns can only be placed on the mat when you have all three of one color and do not have any fish buns. Since you cannot have more than three of any one color buns on your mat, the game becomes more strategic as you draw and steal or trade with other players for the buns you need. It plays fairly quickly and is very portable as the box is not large.

We love games requiring thought, and this does just that! You have to think ahead, like Mahjong (actual Mahjong, not the "solitaire" computer games). BUT, it's good for ALL ages, providing you're on equal ground. So like a good strategist would need to hold back if playing with a lesser competitor, but two not-so-good strategist would have alot of fun without getting frustrated.

Love this game!!! So fun, adorable, and delicious😍 Easy to learn but with enough twists and turns and surprise rules that it is never too simple or repetitive (unlike many other cutesy games out there). My friends and I play this all the time now and it always make me hungry for some dim sum afterwards. Also love the design and the thoughtfulness, especially the sturdy pouch for all the pieces when a lot of other games would just give a cheap ziploc bag instead. Could double for a cute purse in a pinch?

This game was so easy to learn and so much fun to play. You have 3 dice to roll but you must split them into two groups. The person to your left gets to choose which of the two groups of dice they want. The goal of the game is to collect 3 groups of 3. The game play is about 10-15 mins. Great for before or after dinner.

I ordered this game after playing it with some family. When I opened the package, I saw the tape was cut open in both sides. Not sure why, as it was in another sealed box.

El producto llego bien y parece que todo es nuevo, sin embargo venía abierto, el empaque venia simplemente sellado con cinta que se notaba que fue abierto y encintado para venderlo y el juego si bien parecía nuevo todo este tenia los sellos violados y cortados.

Really enjoyed playing nice buns. I love the design of the game - felt like it had captured quintessential Japanese elegance and style. Clearly a lot of time and thought had gone into it. We picked up the rules pretty quickly and the tactics soon followed. It seems fairly simple but we soon realised that there is a fair amount of skill involved! Love the fact you can watch a video rather than reading the instructions too. Only negative was that it could have been clearer as to whether you could swap or put back white buns. Would definitely recommend.

Easy to learn and quick to play. The attention to detail in the design is top notch too!

Wanted some new party games and this looked fun so ordered this for New Years Eve and it arrived so quickly. It took a while to go through the instructions and understand the game, but we learnt as we played and quickly got into it. It's a good fun game that got competitive. It doesn't go on for too long so you can play it quite a lot without getting bored. Love the branding and graphics of the game too.

Beautiful game, great quality and really fun. Have played it with family and friends and it’s a big crowd pleaser. Slightly strategic but not too cut throat.
