As you play the game, you are attempting to complete one of six heroic quests by traveling around the board and having encounters based on Russian myths while also dealing with Baba Yaga's perilous minions. As you have these encounters, you will gather items and allies that will help you by granting you advantages or bonuses to your statistics. You will also gain reputation as you adventure, but be careful, the great witch Baba Yaga doesn’t care for uppity heroes and soon you’ll be fighting her off as well as dealing with your individual quest.
In order to win in competitive play, you must either be the first to complete your quest, or have the most reputation when the game ends. In cooperative play, all of the players must complete their quests or manage to defeat Baba Yaga before time runs out.

Passing the Bar will allow students to learn the graduate material required to pass the national state monitored bar exam in an enjoyable setting, and is also fun for students and trained professionals to test their skills."
