As d'Or (nominated)
Storytelling
Fantasy
Kids' Game
Memory
Players work together to help a monster understand its emotions. They take turns rolling a die to move the monster on the board. When the monster lands on a space with an emotion token, the player picks it up and tries to find the corresponding glass from the hidden options. To keep a token, players must share a memory related to that emotion. The game can end in defeat if the monster gets too confused, but they win by successfully sorting all the emotions into the correct glasses.
