Bärenpark – Build the Smartest Bear Park in Town 🐻🧩

Bear parks: it's the next big thing! Bärenpark by Phil Walker-Harding (Lookout Games) is a family-friendly, Tetris-like puzzle game for 2–4 players aged 8+, taking about 30–45 minutes.

Each player starts with a park board and fills it with polyomino tiles: green areas, animal houses and enclosures for polar bears and even koalas – which might be marsupials by definition, but are far too cute to leave out. Every space you cover can reveal a symbol that gives you new tiles. Cover a construction crew symbol and you claim another park board to build onto,. Food streets and toilets need a place too, so plan where everything goes. Animal houses and enclosures are worth points, and the earlier you build them, the more valuable they are, because the most valuable tiles go first. Achievements give extra points to the fastest builders. When one player fills their whole park, the game ends and the player with the most points wins. Bärenpark is quick to learn, plays smoothly and offers satisfying decisions for children and adults alike, making it a great choice for family game nights.
