About How Do They Feel?
Three faces, and one feeling: happy, sad, angry, surprised or scared, with excited and bored joining later. The game says the question out loud, and every other round starts with a short everyday moment, like a dropped ice cream, so the feeling has a reason. Each face is drawn so the eyebrows, eyes and mouth change together, the way a real face does. No timer and nothing to lose.
