Question 1

Are real bears and babies required for this game?

Accepted Answer

Hey there, thanks fur reaching out! While it might fun to play with real bears and babies, they are 100% not included or required to play this game!

Actually, we strongly recommend not playing with real bears and babies because the babies would probably do some real damage to the bears, and we don't want to endanger them! Hope that helps!

Bear hugs,
Miya

Question 2

would adults enjoy this game of Bears and Babies?

Accepted Answer

I think this is less about adults v children enjoying, and more about the type of game you enjoy playing. This is from the makers of exploding kittens and the Oatmeal web comic... if that is your type of humor, then that is step one. If you don't like that humor, this game will probably turn you off at the start. It's an odd one. Secondly, while the humor is similar, this is NOT exploding kittens, which could be described as a twisted UNO-style game. This is a slower-paced game with more strategy, where you need to think through what cards to play at a given time and need to pay attention to what others are laying down. If you could align this to an old-school game, it would be Rummy (or even Phase 10), where you are trying for particular combinations. Unlike rummy however, here you can also undo other players' combinations with certain decisions, setting them back. Adding or removing certain rules (both as described in the instructions and house-designed after playing a bit) can enhance playtime with the right group.

It is fun with people who like that style of game. I've played with kids as young as 9 and adults as old as 65. More adults liked it than the kids, it just depends on the game style you like I think.

Question 3

Would a very smart 7 year old enjoy this game?

Accepted Answer

Yes they would; it's fairly easy to pick up, and the strategies would be something a smart 7 year old could easily grasp.

Question 4

Does this game work well with only two people?

Accepted Answer

We've only played with 4, but it says it's good for 2 people. Not sure how much fun it will be with just 2. I'd recommend it to start before bringing it out with more though. You know, to work out the kinks!
