Squirrel Away

You and your band of mischievous squirrels have just pulled off the biggest heist of your lives, snatching an entire winter's worth of acorns from the clutches of a greedy raccoon. You've arrived at the meeting point, nuts up to your cheeks, and it's time to divide the spoils. To get away with more than your fair share, you'll need all sorts of tricks and every imaginable scheme. Will you manage to escape with the biggest pile of acorns, or will another rebellious rodent call you a scoundrel?

In each round of  Squirrel Away  , a player draws a card that determines what they are allowed to take, then grabs acorns from the middle of the table… sometimes sneakily taking more acorns than they should or different acorns than indicated. They then announce to the group the number of acorns they have taken, and the other players decide whether they are telling the truth—that is, hiding what they have taken—or if they are a scoundrel, taking something they are not supposed to take.

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