Description

Outrun the Bear is a thrilling board game where you'll compete against up to five friends in a desperate bid for survival. The goal is simple: be the first to make it from the campsite to the safety of the car in the parking lot, all while avoiding the clutches of a fierce bear. With easy-to-learn rules, this game is perfect for families and groups of friends looking for a fun and exciting experience. Designed by Samuel Barmettler and released in 2023, Outrun the Bear combines clever card management with strategic movement and a dash of sabotage, making it a wild ride from start to finish. As you navigate the modular board, you'll need to carefully choose which action, reaction, and equipment cards to play, all while keeping a wary eye on your friends and the bear. The game's prisoner's dilemma mechanics add an extra layer of tension, as you weigh the benefits of helping your friends against the risk of becoming the bear's next target. With playtime ranging from 20 to 45 minutes, Outrun the Bear is the perfect addition to any game night or family gathering. Will you be able to outrun the bear and make it to safety, or will you become its next victim? There's only one way to find out.
