Bears vs Babies

5-7 of us sometimes get together after our shift ends and play games that are usually NSFW. I had been looking for a new game for us to play and something more appropriate that I could play with my whole family on our 2 week vacation each year. After I read a lot of reviews on Amazon, I moved over to videos of game play as well as reviews on YouTube. 2 days ago I finally clicked the buy button on Amazon when I was alerted that the price had dropped. It arrived yesterday and we decided to play last night. Some people said the game was better with 2-3 people, but we all had such a blast playing with the max number 5. While we were playing everyone said I should buy the NSFW expansion pack to add more cards to the deck and make it dirtier like we usually do. Needless to say, when I got home, I immediately bought the 30 dirty card expansion pack. It arrived Friday. It is an easy game to learn but at the same time it’s hard b/c someone is ALWAYS messing up the rules and getting yelled at. We also decided to add a house rule like chess…. If u let go of a card while building a monster… it must stay on the table. No take backs. I was glad everyone loved this cut throat game of stick it to ur friends. I was really afraid they would hate it, but like I said 3 games in they were demanding the the expansion pack. 1 person even offered to buy it for me. I hope this was helpful. UPDATE: the expansion pack arrived today. it comes in a tiny packagage that looks like Pokemon cards would be inside. it includes 30 dirty cards and 1 condom. on the back of the condom it says, "USE BEARTH CONTROL F.U. BABIES." I laughed so loud when I saw it. the pack also includes 1 instruction card... which only states to shuffle the cards into the deck. its useless. I sifted through the cards and they r funny, but I didnt feel like they were as dirty as people made them out to be. I really didnt see what the big hype about them being sooooo dirty was. I cant wait to hear people read out their monsters abilities the next time we play. in my opinion, they new cards aren't any raunchier than my exploding kittens NSFW deck. I will have to remove them if we sit down with my 80 year old parents, but they r definitely not as offensive as the reviews I read here or watched on YouTube.

This is an excellent game and I am proud to have been a backer—though I wish the furry box was just for us backers! :) ~Ages: I have an 'expanded version' an extra 10 or 15 cards that are NSFW (lots of penis, breast, and poop cartoons. The regular pack, imo, is completely suitable for all ages, though younger kids might have difficulty learning the game. If you or your child is sensitive to odd cartoons, I would recommend going through the pack to double check. The game will not be hurt by pulling a couple of cards out of play. We have also played by teaming up a young player with an adult. ~Number of players: the game says 2-5. With my expansion pack, I have also pushed the boundaries and played with 6. I think the game has been the most fun with 2 or 3 players. Over 3 and players don't have the opportunity to take as many 'actions' and there is less ability to strategize per 'turn'. ~Game play: The game is more complicated than Exploding Kittens. It takes a bit longer to explain and to learn. I recommend watching the how-to video. Once you understand, it is easy to teach others. Also once you get the instructions down, there is more strategy involved than kittens, which honestly has barely any strategy at all to have a good time. The game is played by creating Bears/monsters that fight other player's bears/monsters and fight Babies. Sometimes the babies beat the players. The game is won by the person who has defeated the most number of babies at the end. Strategy comes in as each player 'turn' is comprised of a certain number of 'actions' that let you build your monster/Bears or fight babies. With more players, each player has fewer actions. I plan to buy a second deck for game play of 5+ players. With an extra deck, I believe we could let players have extra actions. (Four or five player games, each player only gets 2 actions, which is very difficult to advance.)

Fun game easy to understand instructions. Quality components. I love that the playing mat is fabric so it won't fall apart so easily. The game itself was simple to play and amusing. The illustrations are well done and amusing. (Some may not be for everyone, but that feels ok brand for this brand). The art is still well done and cohesive. The mechanics of the game left some room to adjust for house rules. We still need to play a few more times to love it, because while it's easy enough to play, it sucked that last minute someone was able to swoop in and take the big pile of babies and there wasn't any stopping it or beating it at that point.

I buy things like this for my private therapy practice. This funny game has cards of different "monster" body parts, and cars for various horrendous babies (Diaper Baby, Nuclear Baby, etc). Players assemble "monsters" (it's very silly you do it according to the cards you get and whatever happens is what happens) and then "provoke" piles of other cards that are basically "babies." Whoever has the most points wins. But it's much more complex that that, you can provote other people, calm the babies down, chop off the heads of other players, and a variety of interactions that don't usually exist in a card games. Kids pick this up quickly and have great fun with it, adults are more polite. Too polite. we get creamed by the kids, basically. It takes a while to figure out but once you get it it's very entertaining and more interactive than a traditional card game. Plus, the box has fur.

Purchased for a gift, this game is great and really fun to play. I had my own copy and decided to buy some Christmas gifts.

Great fun game!! Awesome that can also be played in a couple.

Great game...not really anything to do with Bears though other than the fluffy brown box. Needs a LOT of table space even for 2 players so we improvised it on our small table. It's fun, plenty replayable and you can improvise the rules a bit to make it easier / harder as you want

The video instructions are excellent and highly recommended to learn the game quickly. While easy enough to learn there is enough complexity to play this game over and over again without being bored. Great strategy game.

Lo compré sin pensar al saber que era de los creadores de Exploding Kittens, y no me ha decepcionado. Lo primero es que es muy original y no existe juego igual en el mercado. Divierte mucho y ha sorprendido a los amigos con los que he jugado. Es más estratégico que Exploding Kittens, eso gustará a unos más que a otros. Las partidas no son tan rápidas como Exploding Kittens porque algunos turnos la gente tiene que pensar bien lo que hacer. Pero nada que se haga eterno y sigue siendo un juego rápido y fácil de jugar. Que esté en inglés es todavía más irrelevante que en Exploding Kittens, que si ya era facilísimo de entender, aquí casi no hace falta leer nada. Una vez te explican cómo jugar, solo muy pocas cartas llevan texto y se explican bien en el FAQ que incluye el juego. En resumen, una compra muy recomendada. Gran juego y buen precio teniendo en cuenta lo cuidada que está la edición y que son muchísimas cartas las que incluye.
