Der HeidelBÄR (2009)

About this game

"Der HeidelBÄR" was just released this year (20 Year Heidelberger anniversary) and is a party game where everybody uses word association to describe a word with a per, peer, bear in it. The word is replaced with a bear and you need to describe it for the others with only six words. but the first two words are always "This bear..." or "My bear...". So you actually only have four words and you are not allowed to use words which are in the word you have to guess.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
