About this board game

13 Beavers is a 30-minute family-friendly guessing game for 2–6 players, challenging everyone to be the first Beaver to reach Beaver Paradise.

Players take turns navigating the board by predicting whether the next card will be higher or lower than the previous one. A correct guess moves a Beaver forward, while an incorrect guess sends it back to its dam to try again on a later turn.

The central challenge is deciding how far to push your luck. Players can make consecutive guesses to advance farther, but they can also call “dam!” to return to their dam and secure their progress before taking another risk.

  • Predict whether the next card is higher or lower.
  • Press your luck with consecutive guesses to move farther.
  • Call “dam!” to protect your progress.
  • Watch for hidden DANGER cards that can wash the dam back a specified number of spaces.

The journey features unpredictable challenges and varied wilderness themes, including fishing, rapids, lava, and wolves. These obstacles and bonuses add surprises to every game and help make each playthrough different.

With its simple guessing mechanism and exciting risk-versus-safety decisions, 13 Beavers offers an accessible adventure for kids and adults. Whether carefully protecting progress or making bold consecutive guesses, players must navigate the journey and reach Beaver Paradise first.
