The feel of it

Why it lands at the table

Bears vs Babies is a light card game from the makers of Exploding Kittens. You assemble monsters from heads, bodies and limbs, while armies of babies gather in the middle of the table.

When a baby army attacks, the player with the strongest monsters wins it. It is absurd, quick and loud.

Fifteen to twenty minutes.
