Little Bear is having a picnic, and each player needs to find Little Bear's friends to bring them to the picnic. Whoever returns with the most friends wins the game. The friends are represented by cards. Each player moves along a path on the board. When landing on a colored acorn space, you pick up the top card on the draw or discard pile. If it matches the color you are on, you keep the card. If not, you discard the card, face down. When landing on a Little Bear space, you take a card and keep it, regardless of color. There are also "lose a card" spaces where you lose a card of your choosing to the discard pile. When all players reach the end (Little Bear's house), the winner is the player with the most cards.
