Steam Up: A Feast of Dim Sum is a competitive, light-medium weight Dim Sum set collection and action management game for 2-5 players that offers a delicious cultural experience.

At the start of the game, steamers, filled with different types of Dim Sum, are stacked and placed on a Turntable. Each player will takes turns performing 2 different actions each round. Actions include gaining and spending food tokens to buy Dim Sum in Steamers within their Feast Zone. Players can also play Fortune cards to benefit themselves or affect their opponents. Beginning with the 2nd round, a Fate card is revealed each round to trigger an event that may affect all players.

The game is over when a specific number of Steamers is purchased or the Fate deck is emptied. Final scoring is then calculated. The player with the most Hearty Points is the winner and leaves the table with the fullest stomach!
