Lom-a-duma board game

Lom-a-duma is a cooperative word association game for 2 to 8 players aged 8 and up. One player takes on the role of a raccoon, who cannot speak the cats' language and can only communicate through small everyday objects. Hidden behind a screen, the raccoon arranges the items to match three randomly drawn word cards, and the cats must then work together to guess the raccoon's logic.

The raccoon must remain silent throughout, while the cats are free to discuss their choices. If every pairing is correct, the group advances to a new round with one extra word and one extra object. If not, a new game begins with a new raccoon and fresh words, keeping the challenge growing with each success.

The box contains 100 double-sided word cards, 20 objects and two screens, one for the raccoon and one for the cats. A game typically takes 20 to 45 minutes. For a more personal twist, players can use their own household items, as long as they have two of each.
