Tasty Humans is a 30-60 minute, tile-laying, pattern-building game for 1-4 players.
You are a fantasy monster trying to sate your insatiable appetite. As you and your fellow monsters toss around the village king, you attract a steady buffet of adventurers who try – poorly – to put up a fight! Then, take turns selecting which adventurers to consume, dropping various body parts into your stomach. Once you or another monster fills their stomach, the most satisfied monster wins!
Tasty Humans raised $20,536 on Kickstarter. This is how we did it…
