Yomi 2 is a fighting card game where you choose a character deck, augment it with a gem, and face an opponent in tactical combat. Like in a fighting game, you'll block high and low attacks, throw overly defensive opponents, and perform powerful attack combos.

The game expands on the original Yomi with new mechanics, including gems that modify your character, knockdowns that enable high and low mix-ups, the ability to gain the edge to speed up attacks, and a system that lets you exchange cards in your hand with cards from your discard pile.

Each round, both players secretly choose a combat card and reveal it simultaneously before continuing with combo cards when possible. Before selecting your combat card, you can also manipulate your hand by powering up for super moves or exchanging unwanted cards for more useful ones from your discard pile.

The game includes 10 characters, two copies of 6 different gems to enhance them, and a single-player mode featuring a variety of automated opponents.
