Bear Down

Catch the Most Fish, but Don’t Go with the Flow!

Salmon? Yum! In this easy-to-learn family game, you’ll need to navigate a raging river in a race to catch the most fish. On each turn, slide in water tiles to make the river flow, jump salmon up the waterfall, and move your bear. Then use strategy to block other bears and figure out when to risk moving to the edge of the waterfall. As the game goes on that’s where the most fish will be, but if you get too close and the river washes you over it’s . . . bear down—you’ll lose your fish and end up “bear-handed!”
