About this game

Publisher summary (user edited): Die Ritter von der Haselnuss is a memory game, where the squirrel has to collect and store nuts for the winter. Gameplay: The player whose turn it is throws a die and moves the squirrel knight according to the number shown - but he can chose which way on the board he moves. If a player lands on a bush he can pick up a card - will he get a nut or does the bush hide a fox or some other animal? With a good memory the players can protect themselves from the nut thief ... otherwise they will lose all the nuts they have collected. Die Ritter von der Haselnuss is a game suitable for the youngest players in the family, with easy rules and short playing time.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
