Select one of the coloured lines on the border of the game board to complete together as a group.
Place your pawn on one of the white start circles in the corners of the game board to start the game.
You can move your pawn according to the brown lines to the next circle. You cannot skip circles. Discuss and decide together which direction to go.
At each circle, complete the exercise indicated by the icon. One player picks an image on the border of the game board and performs the corresponding exercise:
The other group members must guess which image you chose.
After guessing the picture, each player identifies the emotion they believe best fits the image.
If the group correctly guesses the image and explains why they chose a specific emotion, they earn a point and place a bottle cap on the corresponding colour on their chosen side of the game board.
The game ends when the group collects all colours on their selected side of the game board.
The frame of this poster consists of 20 images that trigger the players' imagination. There is no specific explanation for each image. In the middle of the game board, you can find 16 emoticons (top to bottom, left to right): funny, excited, scared, irritated, nauseous, happy, thinking, loved, surprised, doubtful, sleepy, relaxed, sad, angry, desperate, and ashamed. The players can interpret the emoticons as they wish.
The structure of the game board is based on the game Nine Men's Morris.
