It started as a poem

Gather round this fire and hear a tale. It's a legend that comes from the sky; About a man, after judgment was passed, was left on a trail to die.

Lone Bear Sky began as a campfire poem: a new story to tell around the fire, in place of the ones everybody has already heard. It follows a lost traveler on the trail of forty-nine who strikes his last match and wakes something old in the wood.

In the card game, you are that traveler. Lone Bear Sky spared your life, and in exchange you find other travelers and banish them from his land.

Every copy of the game comes with a pocket-sized copy of the poem.

How it plays

Lone Bear Sky mixes hand management, push-your-luck and a little memory. Three kinds of travelers gather at your campfires, and each kind gives you a perk.

Adventurers

Roll the adventure dice once during your turn.

Prospectors
