Hide the Picnic Baskets… Bears! Heading to FLGS

Sep 13, 2011

The latest family game from our friends at Fireside Games should be making its way to your local shops as I write. Bears! is a die matching game for the whole family and plays in no more than twenty minutes.

From Fireside Games:

Bears! is a fast-playing, competitive game in which you score points by pairing dice. Shoot bears and run from tents for a few points, or take a risk and score big by sleeping through the attack! But watch out! If Bears are left at the end of the round, your sleeping campers are done for!

Affordable, portable, and easy to learn, Bears! is a high-energy good time for 2 to 4 players, ages 7 and up. Each round takes about 20 seconds to play and an entire game can be completed in 20 minutes or less!

Bears! includes 20 Camp Dice, 20 Player Dice, 4 Scoring Reminder Cards and a Rule Sheet. Want to let more players join in the fun? No problem. Bears! is easily expandable with each additional copy adding up to 4 more players with no additional rules changes.

Elliott and I had a chance to take a peak at Bears! at this year’s Origins and it looks like it can scratch the itch for a quick family filler that can be played anywhere.
