The monster has muddled up all his feelings and needs help sorting them. Players move him around the board, pick up emotion tokens and match them to the right coloured jar — but only after telling the others about a moment when they felt that way.
Who it's for
Families with kids from about three upwards, and anyone looking for a playful way into talking about emotions at home or in a group setting.
Not for you if…
You want a real game rather than a conversation starter — the mechanics are thin, and older kids will see through the memory task fast.
Vibe's take
Gentle and unhurried, with a surprising amount of real conversation. The memory element gives adults something to do while the kids do the talking.
