Purzelbaum (2019)

About this game

Purzelbaum is the dexterity and memory game with a three-dimensional, wooden tree that provides plenty of nuts for busy squirrels to bury during autumn and then dig up again once winter has come. In autumn, the player whose turn it is picks a hole in the ground and tries to let a nut fall into it. If the player is successful, they will get a leaf as a reward. As soon as all nuts have been shaken from the tree, it becomes winter. Now, the players try to recall the best spots to dig for nuts. As soon as all nuts have been recovered, the player with the most leaves and nuts wins. —description from the publisher (Purzelbaum means somersault in German and also means falling of the tree-ish, pun-like)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
