"Mottainai" means "Don't waste", or "Every little thing has a soul". In the game Mottainai Mini, a successor in the Glory to Rome line, you use your cards for many purposes.

Mottainai takes players are on a journey to a Buddhist temple to create various works of art. Each of the cards in Mottainai is unique, featuring beautiful watercolor illustrations of the works. Every one has a special ability, which in typical Chudyk fashion can and will need to be combined cleverly with other cards to outwit your opponents.

Clever planning and combining of your works' special abilities are key in this quick but thoughtful card game.
