What to Expect

In I Am, I Do, players act out roles determined by a colored die. You mime the action the die tells you to perform, while others try to guess what you are portraying. Correct guesses move both players forward on the board, while laughing causes players to move backwards. This creates a lively and humorous experience suitable for kids.

Who Is This Game For?

Designed for 3 to 6 players aged 6 and up, this simple children's game requires no prior experience. With a short playtime of about 20 minutes, it is ideal for families and young groups looking for quick, interactive fun.

How It Works

Using Acting and Roll/Spin and Move mechanics, players roll a colored die to determine their character and action. They then pantomime the assigned role while others guess. Correct guesses advance both guesser and actor on the board. A spinner may allow faster movement. Players who laugh while others act must move backwards, adding a playful challenge.
