In this solo playthrough session of Bear Went Over the Mountain by Brian Garthwaite, I explore the solitaire mode of this family-friendly card-laying and set-collection game. A light and charming design originally created for kids, but with a fun solo twist.
Description on BoardGameGeek:
"Bear Went Over the Mountain is a card-laying and set-collection game for preschoolers, ages 4 and up. Players choose goals, such as spotting the most bluebirds, squirrels, or skunks, then select and play cards into a landscape. Scoring relies on counting, as well as simple addition and subtraction. Although some reading skill is helpful, pictures and color icons are on every card for those still learning their ABCs."
