## Description
Ever had that feeling of urgency to get rid of everything and exit the game quickly? That's exactly what Bacon delivers, but with a very interesting strategic twist. The game focuses on the 'climbing' mechanic, where you and your partner must work together to empty your hands as fast as possible. But hold on, it's not just about who exits first. The winning team's score is calculated based on when the second team member manages to exit. In other words, you can't just fly solo and leave your partner behind; synchronization is everything!

Now, if you're not the 'team' type or if your group doesn't have the right number of players, Bacon features the Applewood variant. In this mode, friendship is left at the door: it's every person for themselves. The goal remains the same—get out fast—but now your score depends exclusively on your final position. It's the perfect version for those who love pure competitiveness and want to test their own luck and strategy without relying on anyone.

Whether playing in pairs or in the free-for-all mode, the heart of the game lies in hand management. You have to decide whether to play that high card now to dominate the round or save it to ensure your partner's exit later. It's a fast-paced card game with sessions ranging from 30 to 90 minutes, ideal for those seeking tactical depth without spending hours reading a manual. It's the kind of game that starts simple, but after a few rounds, you start noticing layers of strategy that completely change how you view the deck. If you enjoy shedding games and want something that blends cooperation and competition, Bacon is the right choice for your table.
