Potato Tomato is a board game released in 2024 for 3–6 players, 15–30 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Kornkitt Poolsup and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Take That, and Push Your Luck.
Baked potato. Baked tomato. Which one is the most popular side dish? No one knows how it started. Rumour has it, the rivalry began when one of the potatoes claimed that baked potato is the most popular side dish. A fiery tomato challenged the claim, asserting that the most popular side dish is, in fact, baked tomato! The argument quickly spread around the world of side dishes. Hence began the “PotatoTomato” conflict! However, the Alliance of Fruits and Vegetables has yet to get involved in this nonsense... for now! Both the Potatoes and the Tomatoes have started sending spies to sabotage each other. You are one of the spies. Your mission is to reveal other players’ roles. When all role cards of a single player are exposed, that player - and everyone on the same team - is eliminated. Be careful - Teams can be changed at any time during the game. Trust no-one!
Potato Tomato supports 3–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Potato Tomato is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Potato Tomato for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Potato Tomato has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
