(designed by Anne-Marie De Witt, published by Fireside Games, Item #FSG03001) is a high-speed, competitive real-time dice-matching game that turns a peaceful wilderness getaway into an all-out camping disaster. While hammering in the final tent pegs, rustling in the bushes heralds a pack of hungry bears barreling straight into camp. The core gameplay objective centers on rapid-fire visual recognition, dice pairing, and score maximization: players race simultaneously to grab matching pairs of dice from the center pool, trying to be the first to reach 100 total points across several chaotic rounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary mechanical hurdle stems from processing logical pairings at breakneck speed while balancing the temptation to push your luck. Each round begins by rolling 5 Camp Dice per player into a communal center pool. All players then roll their own 5 Player Dice simultaneously and race—using only one hand—to match their results with the Camp Dice in the middle:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGun + Bear:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e Shoots the bear (+1 point).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRunning Sneaker + Tent:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Runs away from the tent to safety (+2 points).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSleeping Camper:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e Scores a massive payout (+5 points per sleeper),\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e but requires zero matches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlayers may continuously reroll their uncommitted Player Dice as many times as they want, locking in pairs as they go. However, matching mistakes—such as paring running sneakers with a bear or guns with a tent—result in penalty point deductions. The round ends abruptly the second either the last Bear die or the last Tent die is snatched from the middle. If any bears are left prowling the camp at the end of the round, every sleeping camper you left in your camp is devoured, wiping out those points entirely. Designed for 2 to 4 players aged 7 and up (expandable with additional sets), each round plays in about 20 seconds, wrapping up a complete 100-point tournament in roughly 20 minutes. To survive the woods, you must keep your hands quick, spot valid pairs before your rivals clean out the camp, and know exactly when it is safe to sleep.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Specs at a Glance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAge Range: 7+ Years\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Fireside Games\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: ~20 Minutes\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Count: 2-4 Players\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Very Light (Real-Time Dice Rolling, Pattern\/Icon Pairing, Push-Your-Luck, Simultaneous Play, Family Party Game)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 White Camp Dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Black Player Dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Quick-Reference Scoring Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Rule Sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53033486614815,"sku":"FSD 3001","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/bears-game-box-front-display.jpg?v=1792004651","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/bears","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
