About the game
What you do in a play session
Suit up, put on your pajamas, or whatever you prefer, and dive into the market in Bear Raid! Here, the goal is crystal clear: make as much cash as possible, just like any self-respecting trader. During the action phase, you'll be buying, selling, and even shorting stocks. To help you out (or mess with you!), there are cards with sensational news headlines that will dictate the fate of each stock. And don't forget the dice: you can manipulate them and use clever plays to influence the market and watch the prices dance to your advantage. The ultimate objective is simple: whoever amasses the most money wins the game. It's an economic game with a very direct speculative twist, where the luck of the dice can be tamed with strategy. Perfect for those who enjoy a trading game with a touch of controlled randomness and a lighthearted theme of talking animals. Interaction is guaranteed, as one player's actions affect everyone's wallets. With relatively easy-to-grasp rules but enough depth for those who want to master the market, Bear Raid promises a fierce and fun competition.
