About the game

Children's game in which players move by drawing cards and moving to the matching space. If you land on a picture-number space then you have to risk waking Daddy. Daddy is in his bed, a spring-loaded molded plastic gizmo. If you did something that might cause him to stir, you have to press the snooze button on his alarm clock a specified number of times. Daddy might sleep through it... but he might sit up suddenly and send his nightcap flying. And send the kid who woke him up back to bed (the start).
