The BEAR shuffles their albums and randomly
places them in a circle behind a screen so the DJ
can’t see the cards. This circle, in clockwise order,
represents the BEAR’s preferred album order of
play — bears have very discerning musical taste.

The DJ “plays” their albums by vocalizing musical
onomatopoeias. They must continually play
music, switching albums till they die or get a hug.
The DJ picks two albums to put on their two
turntables, leaving the other albums to the side.

- If an album is played in the correct order,
the BEAR grunts happily and wiggles its rump
- If an album is played in reverse order, the
BEAR roars with anger and mauls the DJ!
If the DJ gets mauled two times, they die!!!
If the DJ plays all five albums in the right order
consecutively, the BEAR gives them a big PLUR
bear hug and dances!!! The rave is saved!!!

Play normally: BEAR reacts to the DJ’s set as in
the normal game but with additional reactions
for the BEAR’s love/hate albums regardless of
when they’re played:
- If the most hated album is played, the BEAR
roars with anger and mauls the DJ!
- If the most loved album is played, the BEAR
grunts happily and wiggles its rump
Win/Lose conditions remain the same as the
base game.
