Product description
Bacon is a fixed-partnerships climbing game for 4 or 6 players that is all about going out early as a team. The only team that will score is the team that goes out first, but their score will depend on when the rest of the team goes out. If your team does NOT go out first, your job is simple: make the other team go out as late as possible. The rules also include the Applewood variant for 3 to 6 players: this is the no-partnerships version of Bacon. There are no teams; its every person for themselves. Your score will depend solely on the position you go out so go out early. This is a fantastic and social way to help students learn about group work, math, and communication.
