About Little Inner Monsters - Card Game
During an ordinary day, we go through different feelings, good and bad, that mix in different ways. They are like little inner monsters that we have to deal with.
Let's play to get to know some of them better.
A feeling doesn't come alone. It can come mixed with several others, and it manifests itself more strongly depending on the situation.
So we chose a set of feelings to show this relationship.
We've created several little monsters to represent a variety of feelings (or emotions).
Each card represents a different little inner monster. There are 36 in total.
Each card has 6 auxiliary feelings - Joy, Anger, Will, Disgust, Altruism, Fear - with values representing their affinity with the main feeling.
The objective of a match is to accumulate all the cards for yourself until your opponent runs out of cards to play.
In each Set, a player will have 3 cards open.
In the Set, the cards battle one by one with an opponent's card.
The battle consists of comparing the value of a certain auxiliary feeling between the 2 players' cards.
Whoever has the highest value wins that Round.
Whoever wins the best-of-3 Rounds gets the 6 cards of the Set.
There are 6 Arenas in the game - they represent different environments we live in - Happy, Sad, Tumultuous, Calm, Dark and Heavenly. An environment moves our little monsters for better or worse. Each little monster has an environment that favors it, an arena in which it will grow stronger.
In your turn, choose the Arena that best fits your strategy.
Oh, each Arena has its own background music to get you in the mood…
Play Rock-Paper-Scissors (Jo-ken-po) to dispute who starts the match choosing the arena and the auxiliary feeling for the first Set.

I can only recommend this game if you have children. Playing on my own, as an adult, was really tiring, especially with having one game going on and on for over an hour straight. It gets boring quick. That being said, I think this would make for a really sweet educational game to play with your kids. In my opinion, it's really important for children to learn how to label/understand emotions of their own as well as to recognize them in others. For a young child, this could be a great tool to explore this topic, while having fun, and learning the card strategy using the numbers, too. I think the game could be more fun if the "panic" wheel could be used more often to switch up gameplay. Those little tweaks to the gameplay make it more interesting, so maybe a bit more could be done using those mechanics, as an overall improvement to the game. The idea for the game is solid, but it could pack a lot more in its execution with a little bit of creativity.17 found this helpful
I purchased and played this game as punishment for losing a bet, and had to play a 1v1 against a friend of mine. It's just war. the card game. war.6 found this helpful
From [i]"What's up?"[/i] ➡ [i]"On a scale from 1 - 1🌞, how are you feeling today?"[/i] ➡ Razp🥓tin Aquato entering your mindscape and facing max. 36 little inner monsters (flash)back & forth; tackling them with great accuracy! 0% gibberish to me, very carefully & mindfully created! 'Basic Braining' Card Game, but when it comes to the 'emotional extraction' of the main feeling via the 6 auxiliary feelings, which, on their turn, could be affected by any of the environments, I have to say it's very brainy! J😃y/1🧠 — 'Mem Stress Test' is a nice bonus! Missing leaderboards though ...3 found this helpful
In my very first game I invested more than half an hour into hopefully seeing the game to its conclusion and then suddenly with a new deal only two cards were shown as both hands. Results were a draw and a win for me and then nothing happened. My hand and Sana's hand showed both to be empty, but the game was waiting for the standard third play as usual.... and it waits.... forever. As such I can not recommend or play this game anymore. The games just take waaaaay too long for bugs like this to be an acceptable possibility. Too bad.2 found this helpful
Fun and easy game to chill and relax.
It's cute, fun & casual - but it's not the type of game that will have you continue playing for a long time. More like a once-in-a-while, short burst of fun type of thing for two people who like spending time together. It's easy to play but has a hint of tactical depth too, so you could play it with your child and still have a decent time with it.
