Barenpark

Up to two thousand pounds in weight and over ten feet tall, the bear is considered the biggest and heaviest terrestrial carnivore in the world, with many subspecies differing in various aspects. Bärenpark takes you into the world of bears, challenging you to build your own bear park.

Each player in Bärenpark builds their own bear park, attempting to make it as beautiful as they can, while also using every square meter possible. Would you like another polar bear enclosure or rather a koala* house? The park visitors are sure to get hungry on their tour through the park, so build them places to eat! Whatever your choices are, make sure you get the next building permit and use your land wisely!

The park is created by combining polyomino tiles onto a grid, with players scoring for animal houses, outdoor areas, completed construction, and more. Cover icons to get new tiles and park sections. The sooner you build it, the better! The game ends as soon as one player has finished expanding their park, then players tally their points to see who has won.

* No, koalas aren't bears but they're so cute, we couldn't leave them out of this game!

Key Features:

• Game Type: Polyomino tile-laying and pattern-matching strategy game.
• Objective: Build the most successful and efficient bear park using every square meter of land available.
• Core Mechanic: Players draft and place polyomino tiles (representing enclosures, food courts, and houses) onto their personal grid (park map).
• In-Game Economy: Covering specific icons on the grid immediately grants the player new tiles and park sections, driving turn efficiency.
• Scoring: Points are awarded for animal houses, outdoor areas, and especially for completing sections of the park quickly, as the game ends once a player finishes expanding their park.
