All About the Mother May I? Characters
The Story Behind the Characters
From concept to card, we poured heart into every detail. Our quirky animal characters were sketched, refined, and tested until they felt just right. Each one earned a name that captures its personality. When you flip a card, you're not just playing—you're uncovering a moment of discovery and nostalgia. Whether this is your first time or you're reconnecting with a childhood memory, there's joy waiting in every game.
The History Behind Mother May I? The Board Game!
The Lee Family
Hey there! We're so glad you're here.
It started with a simple observation. The Mother May I game we loved as kids had a flaw — one player controlled everything, and the rules weren't always applied fairly, so we decided to change that.
The journey took longer than expected. But we finally got it right. We redesigned the game completely, stripping away the unfairness and building in genuine chance and strategy instead. Every turn hinges on the cards you pick and the chips you draw — Yes You May, No You May Not, or Switch Places. The game board keeps things unpredictable with spaces that can launch you ahead or set you back. The outdoor version is equally as fun, only with fewer components. No favoritism. No shortcuts. Everyone is equal.
We created it for our family. We hope it becomes part of yours too.
