Hungry Hamsters (2020)

About this game

Hamstern is a quick roll-and-write game for two or more players. By crossing off caves in a burrow, players try to score as many points as possible. Each turn, players roll a six-sided die and cross off as many spaces in one of their caves as the die shows. After any player put the first cross their fourth cave, a timer sets in that will trigger the end of the game. Players will score points for each cave that is completely crossed off as well as for crossed off mushrooms and nuts. The player with the most points wins. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

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