Beasty Bar: New Beasts in Town (2015)

About this game

Beasty Bar: New Beasts in Town is the first standalone expansion to the 2014 card game Beasty Bar, and it can be played either by itself or in combination with the original game, as part of a challenging two-round draft. Twelve all-new beasts with new special powers are lining up in front of the bar. As before, it is imperative to stay at the front of the queue in order to be able to join the party. When combined with the original game, each player splits their 24 cards into two draw piles of 12 cards of their choice for two games in a row.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
