About the game
Welcome to daycare chaos! In Baby Blues, you and your friends are caregivers in charge of keeping five babies happy. Sounds simple? Think again. The goal is to prevent your little ones from having a meltdown, because if all five start crying, you're out and the party's over for you. The twist is that each baby has a secret point value, so you have to protect the ones that actually matter.

The fun (or desperation) kicks in when your coworkers decide your life isn't hard enough. They'll play cards to make your babies nervous, steal pacifiers, or even give them toy horns to make the crying even louder. The dynamic is a game of cat and mouse: for almost every attack, there's a reaction. Someone made your baby agitated? Play some relaxing music! But be careful, because your colleague might just break the music player to ensure the baby keeps screaming.

If you're desperate and lack the right cards, diplomacy is your only way out. You can negotiate and trade cards with other players. But this is where the mischief comes in: your colleagues might promise the card you need and deliver something completely different just to watch you suffer. Will you try to make friends to secure help for later, or do you prefer to drive everyone crazy? The choice is yours, but remember that in a daycare, peace is short-lived!
