Yomi: Fighting Card Game (often shortened to Yomi) is a card game created by David Sirlin, inspired by Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which Sirlin also worked on. “Yomi” is Japanese for “reading,” as in reading the mind of the opponent. The Yomi card game is designed to distill the high-level mind games from fighting game into a simple card game. It features asymmetric gameplay, and makes use of cards with multiple options.
