When Leo lands on a tile, the player reveals the matching card; if the tile’s color matches the card, the time stays the same, but if it differs, the clock jumps forward 1‑5 hours depending on the depicted animal. If Leo reaches the barber shop before the clock hits 8:00 p.m., the team wins; otherwise all tiles are flipped back and the day ends. The challenge can repeat up to five days, providing a light yet strategic experience that blends memory, hand management, and a dash of luck. The child‑friendly theme and cute visuals make it suitable for players aged 8 and up, while the cooperative nature encourages teamwork and communication. With simple components—cards, tiles, and a clock—Leo is perfect for families looking for a quick, enjoyable game without the depth of longer titles. ## FAQ ### How many players can play?
