Vibe's take

Careful, wobbly, and giggly. Everyone holds their breath as the pile rises, and moving Bruno feels like carrying an overfull cup across the room.

About this game

Bruno the Bear is hungry, and he has a habit of grabbing honey jars carelessly and dashing for the woods. Your job is to help him carry a growing tower of honey jars on his head without knocking it over. Bruno is a wooden bear with a tray on his head, and he walks across a trail of meadow tokens. On your turn you roll the die and either move Bruno that many steps or leave him standing, and while moving him you may not touch the tray or any jars already balanced there. Either way, you end your turn by stacking one more jar on the pile. The jars come in six sizes, which makes stacking tricky. A dexterity game for young kids, previously published in Germany as BΓ€renstark.
