The Hamsters (1986)

About this game

Each player is trying to bring bags of grain to the nest through a track with shortcuts and obstacles. Sometimes, if you are kind and give grain to a creature that asked for some when encountered, that creature can help you escape an obstacle later on.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
