Players work together to help Leo the lion make it to the barber on time before his mane gets too long. With a clever mix of memory and teamwork, this game is a hit with families and young players alike.
🎮 How to Play Leo Must Go to the Barber
The game is played over a maximum of five days. Each day, Leo walks along a path made of face-down tiles, trying to reach the barber before the clock strikes 8.
- On your turn, play a movement card to move Leo forward.
- Reveal the tile Leo lands on — it could be an animal that delays him!
- If the color of the card doesn’t match the tile, time is lost.
- Work as a team to remember which tiles are where to avoid time-wasting stops.
If Leo doesn't reach the barber in time, his mane grows longer and the next day begins. The team wins if Leo arrives at the barber within five days!
