== OVERVIEW ==

Bear Necessities is a game of card drafting, set collection and cascading combos with a quaint bear and forest theme. Gather everything you need for a thriving ecosystem where the right elements placed side-by-side trigger points.

Every round, you will draft 2 cards - one to place in your tableau and one to reserve. As you build your tableau, each adjacent card is activated. At the end, multiply your bees and beehives together a final bonus.

Cards come in one of 4 colors (yellow, green, blue, red) and bear at least 1 symbol (bearfolk, animal buddies, plantlife, buildings and items). Some show a beehive symbol. Pay attention to these, as they can score major points at the end of the game.

== HOW TO PLAY ==

CARD DRAFTING:

Each player simultaneously chooses 2 cards from their hand. Select 1 card to place in your 3x4 tableau (3 rows of 4 cards) and where you would like to place it. The 2nd card you select will appear in your hand next round - reserved for your use or preventing use by others.

CARD PLACEMENT:

The first card in your grid can be placed anywhere. After that, cards must be placed next to a card in your grid - left, right, above or below.

EFFECT TRIGGERING:

Card abilities activate when placed PLUS whenever a card is placed next to it (orthogonally). You choose the order of activation.

BONUS BEE AWARD:

Whoever scored the least that round receives a Bee token. If there is a tie, the tied players all receive a Bee token.

PASS YOUR HAND:

After everyone has chosen and placed their card and abilities have activated, everyone passes their hand to the player on their left/clockwise.

== GAME END & FINAL SCORING ==

Play until 12 cards have been placed into your tableau. Then everyone multiplies their bee tokens by the number of beehive symbols on their cards. This is added to your total. Highest score wins.
