Da bockt der Bär (a.k.a. The Mouse, Goat, and Bear Race) is a roll-and-move game that allows one player to decide whether another player's pawn will move like a mouse, go like a goat, or barrel along like a bear.

At the start of a round, you draw one card that you can either keep or give to another player. The card that you are left with then dictates whether your pawn is a mouse, a goat, or a bear. Each animal has its own die with its own advantages and disadvantages: The mouse is slow but can take shortcuts; the bear can go very fast, but sometimes is too lazy to do so; and the goat is neither fast nor slow, the reliable choice. If you are the first to cross the finish line, you win.
