Bigfootses, The Card Game (2014)

About this game

Hiding in these woods, there lies not just one Bigfoot, not a few Bigfoots, and not a gaggle of Bigfeet — but an entire community of Bigfootses. Now it's time to go in the woods with your trusty Bigfootses's call, cloak your scent with Bigfootses's urine, and get ready for adventure with aliens, yeti, the Loch Ness monster, and every other legendary creature you can think of. Bigfootses, The Card Game consists of two decks: the Woods Deck (75 cards) and the Thingies Deck (75 cards). In the Woods Deck, you encounter Bigfootses and creatures to battle, and draw events that can dramatically change the game. The Thingies Deck is full of equipment, items, actions, and card modifiers to help you along in your quest. Also included are 10 professions, ranging from the practical to the absurd. Your goal? Be the first player to corral ten Bigfootses to win the game!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
