You and your ragtag crew of squirrely thieves just pulled off the biggest heist of your bushy-tailed lives, grabbing a whole winter’s worth of acorns back from the clutches of a greedy raccoon. Now you’re at the rendezvous point, up to your cheeks in nuts, and it’s time to split up the haul. To get away with more than your fair share, it’ll take sneaky sleight-of-paw and every underhanded trick you can think of. Will you successfully scurry off with the biggest pile of acorns, or will another rogue rodent call you out as a scoundrel?

In each round ofSquirrel Away, a player will pick a card that determines what they’re allowed to take, then grab acorn gems from the middle of the table…possibly sneakily grabbing more than they should or acorns other than the ones indicated. They then claim to the group how many they grabbed, and the other players decide whether that player is telling the truth that is, squirreling away what they took or if they’re a scoundrel, taking something they’re not supposed to.

In the end, the player who squirrels away the most sets that is, one gem of each color wins.
