About this game

Go Away Monster! turns bedtime fears into a game everyone can win together. Reach blind into a bag and feel around for a piece shaped like the furniture your bedroom board is missing: a bed, a lamp, a teddy bear. Pull out a monster instead and the rules are simple, shout it away and toss it aside with real gusto. There is no penalty for finding a monster beyond the joyful shout, no elimination, no scoring pressure, just tactile guessing and a satisfying excuse to yell at the dark. A genuinely sweet way to make the under-the-bed stuff feel conquerable.
