Bears vs Babies

Players assemble patchwork creatures from illustrated body-part cards while a shared deck also produces marauding baby cards that collect in the center. On a turn, players draw cards and either add parts to their own monster or play cards with effects; when a baby card is played as an attack, the babies swarm. Players compare the size of their monster (number of parts) to the number of attacking babies: monsters with more parts defeat the babies and score points, while smaller monsters are discarded. The game balances set collection, tactical card play, and timing of when to provoke or withstand baby attacks.
