- Movement — Players move across a track, with actions like 'crawl' (move two spaces) and 'sprint' (move five spaces by playing four cards).
- Player Elimination — Players can be 'eaten' by the bear, removed from the game, with their cards and equipment discarded.
- Push Your Luck — The bear's movement speed increases as players move further along the track, indicated by 'claw' icons.
