TomaToss is a board game released in 2025 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Minjae K. and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Push Your Luck, and Open Drafting.
Tomatoss is a fast-paced card and token game set in a lively tomato festival, where players grab, toss, and splatter their way to victory. Play tomato cards to meet target conditions, score points, and push your luck with daring “quick tosses” for bigger rewards. On your turn, place tomato tokens to pick up new cards or toss them at targets. Complete target card conditions to claim points. Take a chance on a quick toss by playing some (or no) cards and then revealing the top of the deck, hoping for the perfect match. Manage your hand, earn basket bonuses, and adapt to changing targets. When the target deck runs out, the festival ends and the player with the most points wins. With its simple rules, quick turns, and chaotic push-your-luck moments, Tomatoss captures the joy and mess of a real tomato fight. —description from the publisher
TomaToss supports 2–4 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 TomaToss is 20 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 TomaToss for ages 8 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.
TomaToss has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
