A Family Game for Kids and Adults
Squirrels is an easy card game to pick up and play with a variety of ages. The goal: collect 5 nut cards of the same color. However, to reach your goal you will have to combat other players stealing your cards and placing other road blocks in your way.
Attack Cards and Wild Cards Keep Things Interesting
While you try to collect your nut cards, your friends will play attack cards to steal and discard your cards. Wild cards in the deck make things even a bit more weird as you may end up trading hands with another player or if you’re lucky you can end up with a card that counts as any color nut of your choice…
Not All Nuts Are Created Equally
The game features 4 color nuts cards: green, blue, orange and the dreaded nut of unmentionable color. Although there are an equal number of each nut in the deck, the nut of unmentionable color is said to be accursed to squirrels and it is much harder to collect to win than the other 3 colors.
Compact Size Makes it Easy to Pack Up and Travel
Squirrels comes in a compact box which makes it easy to pop in a pocket, purse or bag and take with you on the go. If you’re headed out for vacation or on the road and want to play a game on a stop over lunch, squirrels is quick enough to make sure you’re back on the road in time, but long enough to stretch the legs.
Rated Ages 12+ for Mild Cartoon Violence (complexity is playable by younger ages)

Simple concept, easy to learn, easier to teach Probably one of the top 10 simplest games to teach and learn with only one objective – collect 5 nuts. Very simple game to pick up and fun because you can play attack cards to take cards out of other player’s hands, defense cards to defend yourself from these attacks by others, as well as other cards like swapping the discard and draw piles, searching the deck for a nut, etc. In case anyone is wondering about the nut of unmentionable color, I actually contacted the seller and it turns out it…
Fun but Don’t Take it Personally It’s a fun game, but it can get mean! The rules really allow one player to pick on another by using attack cards selectively. This is normal for many games, of course, but be prepared if you have one player who tends to be sensitive!
Worth the buy! Very fun card game. Simple to start playing, but leaves room enough for strategy to have some more complexity. Would be fun with expansions too as said in a previous review. Art work and some of the fun rules are just plain funny. Good for both adults and children, good family game.
