About this game

Leo the lion desperately needs a haircut, and it's on you to get him to Bobo's barbershop before it closes for the evening. The catch is that Leo is a champion procrastinator who stops to chat with every animal you pass, so playing a card to move him forward is a small gamble: land on a matching color and the clock stays put, land on the wrong one and the evening ticks closer to closing time. It's gentle, cooperative and forgiving enough for young kids, with difficulty settings that let older siblings dial up the challenge.
