Outrun the Bear (2023)

About this game

Sometimes you don’t have to OUTRUN THE BEAR… you just have to outrun your friends. In Outrun the Bear you’ll play against up to five friends as you manage your cards in the race for your lives. Start at the campsite, and use action, reaction, and equipment cards to make it all the way to the parking lot and the safety of the car (while helping or sabotaging your friends.) Choose the cards you play carefully cause at the end of the round the Bear will run after player based on the cards that were played. The game ends when all runners have either made it to the parking lot or have been eaten by the bear. So try to keep at least one friend between you and the bear at all times, and maybe you will manage to OUTRUN THE BEAR. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
