A game based on mimicry for two to four teams of players.

In each team's turn, one of the team's players attempts to silently mimic a specific thing, with the goal of enabling their team partners to guess which thing it is before the timer runs out. The things to be mimicked fall in one of four categories, each one of which has an associated mask to be worn by the player that will attempt the mimicry: actions (mime mask); places (Indian mask); animals and things (tiger mask); and school (teacher mask).

Teams advance their tokens along the game board by rolling one die, as long as they keep succeeding in guessing the mimicked concept after each throw of the die.

The goal is to be the first team to reach the last space in the game board (number 36).

Game contents: -Game board. -Hourglass. -4 masks. -144 word cards. -12 joker cards. -4 team tokens. -1 die.
