Devir Games The Color Monster - Travel Edition

The Color Monster is back… more compact than ever! A new edition of the popular children's game, based on the popular story by Anna Llenas, has arrived in a format perfect for taking anywhere and at a reduced price. In this version, the box becomes an integral part of the game. Inside, one side contains the printed game board, and the other, an insert to hold the canisters. Playing in a small space is no longer a problem!

The Color Monster is a cooperative board game for children based on the popular character from Anna Llenas's story, and it will entertain the whole family. Designed by Josep Maria Allué and Dani Gómez, games last about 30 minutes and are recommended for ages 4 and up. Besides being a great way to have fun, the game can be a very good educational option where young children will learn to recognize their basic emotions.

Just like in the story, the monster is all mixed up with his emotions, and his body is covered in colors. The players will have to work together to help the monster recognize his emotions and understand what's happening to him. Taking turns, they will roll the die, which will allow them to move the monster around the board and collect the tokens of the basic emotions (joy, sadness, fear, calm, and anger), which they will have to place in the different jars. To get these tokens, players must tell a story or share an experience related to the emotion. Once the experience has been shared, the player must choose one of the eight available jars without knowing what it contains. They will either get one of the five emotions or discover one of the three mix-ups. If all three mix-ups appear before the monster has understood his emotions… they'll have to start all over again!

Luckily, the players have the help of Nuna, the monster's friend, who also knows how to bring order to the emotions. Each time a die roll shows its face, Nuna will move to the space where the monster is located and flip over one of the jars containing various emotions. Players will need a good memory and must remember the location of the jars with the different emotions if they want to win the game.

Both children and adults will have a great time helping the monster sort out its emotions. At the same time, the game encourages sharing experiences related to basic emotions. This space is ideal for children to express themselves openly and share their moments of joy or calm, as well as their moments of fear, anger, or sadness. In this way, while playing, they will discover that, just like the monster, we humans can also be confused about how we feel.
