BiberClan (2018)

About this game

In BiberClan, each player has their own beaver lodge. During the game, you try to collect cards with the highest possible values in your lodge — but the lower-value cards are nothing to sneeze at either because having the same card multiple times gives you bonus points. Of course, it's not easy to keep the best cards. Cards can be swapped in the blink of an eye, so no card ever stays where it is for long! Once the first player has added five cards to their lodge, all the other players get to take one final turn. After the crazy card swap, the players add up the points in their beaver lodges. The player with the most points after a set number of rounds is the "beaver boss".

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
