The Great Nut Hunt A Game of Match and Snatch

You’ve spent fall hiding as many tasty treasures as possible—but now you can’t remember where you stashed them! Winter is here, so it’s time to test your memory and join The Great Nut Hunt. Play solo or team up with a friend to take on the formidable Greedy Squirrel, or compete with up to five players to build the highest-scoring stash. Take turns flipping two tiles at a time to uncover food, wild tiles, and—if you’re lucky—the coveted golden acorn.

However, not every tile reveals a delicious treat. If you find two Mystic Moles, they will grant you the power of foresight and you’ll get to peek secretly at two tiles. Or, you might uncover two Devious Magpies who will become your henchbirds, swooping in to steal a pair of tiles from an opponent—no hoard is safe until the last nut is stashed.

Unfold the included poster to learn about five squirrels from around the world—did you know that Siberian chipmunks eat roughly half the nuts growing in Russian forests? Or that red squirrels pick mushrooms and balance them on branches to dry before storing them for winter? The poster also includes the full game instructions and a bonus “squirrel’s guide to winter.”
