Bacon

Bacon is a fixed-partnerships climbing game for 4 or 6 players centered around being the first team to go out. Only the team that goes out first will score, but their score is determined by when the rest of their team members also go out. If your team doesn’t go out first, your objective is straightforward: delay the opposing team’s exit for as long as possible.

The rules also feature the Applewood variant for 3 to 6 players, a version of Bacon without partnerships. In this mode, there are no teams—it’s a free-for-all. Your score will depend entirely on your finishing position, so aim to go out early.
