Everyone knows the story of Goldilocks. Hungry and tired, she comes upon the bears' cottage while they're out for a walk. She tries their porridge, breaks a chair, and falls asleep in a bed. They return to find her, and she runs out of the house terrified. In this reimagined version, Goldilocks wakes up before they return, and feels very sorry for what she's done. She decides to try and fix her mistakes. She hopes to do this before they return from their walk on this crisp fall day. Directions for play included in deck. Play as many times as you like. Location of hidden images is randomized, so each time you play, it's a new game.
