S'quarrels: A Game of Absolute Nuts (2007)

About this game

Under a nearby acorn tree embark in the rigorous task of collecting acorns before winter sets in. Other Squirrels are all trying to take them before you do. Whirlwinds, Ambushing, Quarreling, and Hoarding are all just part of the fun. Get the coveted Gold Acorn but watch out for the dreaded Rotten Acorn. The more acorns you get the better chance you have of surviving winter! The player to store the most acorns when winter finally comes WINS! S'Quarrels is designed for playing in groups of 2 to 6 players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
