ITADAKIMASU (2013) is a game built with 1/4" MDF board and cut by laser in Eddo Stern's DMA 157: Game Design class in the fall of 2013. The game requires two players to play and involves a combination of mental strategy and physical dexterity to be successful in objectives. It consists of three rounds where players try to beat each other by cooking up better sumo dishes than the other. Within these rounds contains three turns where players take turns discarding cards that they feel are expendable to the dishes they are building.

The winner of the round secures their win by attempting to pick up a rice-filled origami cup and pouring it into their rice bowl. The catch however: they can only use chopsticks.
