Every group needs a game that fits in a coat pocket and fills the ten minutes before the last player arrives. Taco Cat Games is aiming squarely at that slot: the studio is pushing Jelly Fish Toast & Jam into hobby retail in the fourth quarter of 2026, having previously sold it direct.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.
See how it worksIt is a set collection card game with teeth. You are racing to collect three complete sets of character cards, and on your turn you take three actions: draw a card, steal a card from another player, and cover a partial set with a face down card so nobody can pinch it. There is a lovely bit of spite baked in, too. Draw a card belonging to a set you have already finished and you must hand it to someone else, which means the runaway leader keeps arming the table. It plays with two to six, suits ages seven and up, and runs about ten minutes.
The cards themselves are the pitch. Grinning pufferfish, jam jars with faces, peanut butter tubs, all wrapped around puns that will either delight your group or start an argument. The publisher describes it as being from the makers of Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza, which tells you the register it is going for.
Run game nights? Backseat Gamer handles RSVPs, waitlists, date polling, and game voting so you can focus on playing.

The US recommended price is $9.99, and UK pricing will depend on which distributor picks it up. Small, loud and pocket-money cheap is exactly the profile of a game that ends up permanently living in a game night bag.
