Yomi is a fighting game in card form in which physical dexterity is replaced by hand management skills. Just like in a fighting game, you have to know your character, know the matchup, and know your opponent. Each character has a deck that follows the same conventions as a deck of playing cards. This makes it easy to learn the contents of your deck: numbered cards are normal moves, face cards are special moves, and aces are super moves.

Yomi: Panda vs G.Panda — which can be played as a standalone game or as an expansion for either the first or the second editions of Yomi — features two kinds of panda decks, one inspired by the bluffing in the game Pandante.
