ghly social game of bidding and bluffing for 5 to 8 players.

From the Manufacturer

Winter is coming. The doomsayers are sure your hunt will fail. Can you prove them wrong? In Nanuk, players are hunters of the frozen north. Each player in turn will boast of his prowess, telling how long he can stay on the hunt and how much he will bring back. Your fellow hunters can support you, but if you boast too much, they may turn against you, dooming your hunt. Beware Nanuk, the great polar bear, for he can end any hunt in failure. If you find an inuksuk, it will protect you – once. If the hunt is successful, the hunters all share the animals collected, including the doomer’s ante. But if the hunt fails, the doomers reap the rewards. Nanuk is a fast-playing, highly social game of bidding and bluffing for 5 to 8 players.

36:T447,Nanuk was highly suggested by some friends. I needing a "filler game" (filler = quick and simple game under 30 minutes) picked this one up in hopes it could fill that need.When I received it, the components were very nice (I love the round tokens too).However, the cards could of been thicker with a texture to the finish, but they'll suffice.The art is perfect. It speaks of native art from Alaska and the colors are muted, much like a snow storm.The game play is fast and fun. The rules suggest you yell out phrases with "gusto". I am guessing they want you to do this to really get into the roll? However, I like the simplicity of the game too. Generally the game mechanics are solid and plays well.The only problem is this; I rarely have 5 or more people to play with. The box suggest playing with no less than 5 and so this game sits on my shelf never seeing the light of day. I don't understand why games don't have a 2+ variant, because I wouldn't of bought it if I was more careful to know that.Make sure you have a group of 5+, otherwise you'll never play it.Good luck and happy gaming!37:Tb7c,
