About

A press-your-luck, resource collecting, get ready for winter board game involving Squirrels with personality. Ages 8+. 1-6 players. This unique game builds the board using a series of leaf cards spreading out into 6 branches from the centre of the tree. Each turn, players have 3 actions to utilize across whichever mix they wish; move onto a leaves card, flip a leaves card to discover power-ups or acorns, or bury acorns for the winter. Players can carry up to 3 power cards at a time which can give them extra actions, allow them to carry more acorns, steal acorns from other players, swing over broken branches or unleash an owl to take out their opponents. The game ends when a player is the first to bury a total of 20 acorns or when there are no more cards left to flip (in which case the highest score wins). -description from designer
