'Big Beard Battle' is a fun and fast-paced family game with a simple premise: grow the longest beard possible.
For gameplay, players wear colored plastic moustache pieces to which four matching beard cards can be attached. Once all four pieces have been added to one's moustache, a winner is declared. While this sounds simple, the spinner adds a challenge and unexpected elements to the game. For instance, opponent can land on razor or scissor spaces that allow them to "snip" away pieces of another player's beard. On other spinner spaces, all players will be sent scrambling to grab a beard card that matches their own color.
