Bear Raid (2022)

About this game

In Bear Raid you’ll put on your power suit, pajamas, or prison jumper, and start buying, selling, and shorting stocks. Like every successful trader, your goal is to try and make the most money you can. Players will buy, sell, and short stocks in the stock market during the action phase of the game. Forecast cards with clever news headlines will be used to determine how each stock is affected. Through the use of dice that you can manipulate and clever play, you'll influence the market, hopefully bending the stock prices to your advantage. The winner is the one who's made the most money! -description from publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 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.
