My Very First Games: Off to Bed! is a board game released in 2019 for 1–3 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 2 and up. It was designed by Kristin Dittmann and its main mechanics are Matching, Memory, and Storytelling.
It’s time to go to bed — but the rabbit, bear and cat are unable to settle down because their beds, pillows and covers are all muddled up! What's more, the animals each want their favorite stuffed toy. If the children have good powers of memory and a bit of luck in turning over the tiles in My Very First Games: Off to Bed!, they can succeed in getting their animal into bed first. —description from the publisher
