Description
In Bear Raid you’ll put on your power suit, pajamas, or prison jumper, and start buying, selling, and shorting stocks. Like every successful trader, your goal is to try and make the most money you can.
Players will buy, sell, and short stocks in the stock market during the action phase of the game. Forecast cards with clever news headlines will be used to determine how each stock is affected.
Through the use of dice that you can manipulate and clever play, you'll influence the market, hopefully bending the stock prices to your advantage.
The winner is the one who's made the most money!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- card drafting / bear run — on a turn, players take a card from the bear run or from their hand; cards taken from the bear run must be used that turn
- cyclic rounds / round-based scoring — rounds consist of multiple cycles; scoring occurs at end of each round based on bear claws, then end-of-round penalties apply
- Hand Management — manage cards in hand to form bear claws while avoiding excess cards that subtract points at round end
- positive/negative scoring — points come from full bear claws; subtract hand points to determine round total
- Set Collection — collect multiple cards of the same number to form bear claws; three or more of a kind creates a full bear claw for scoring
