Overview

Barenpark challenges you to become the ultimate bear park architect. Each player aims to construct the most impressive and efficient park layout, carefully fitting together various enclosures, animal houses, and park attractions.

The core gameplay revolves around strategically selecting and placing polyomino-shaped tiles onto your personal park boards.

The challenge lies in optimizing your tile placement to efficiently fill your boards, while also striving to acquire the most valuable building tiles to maximize your final score.
