Description
Squirrel life is not all nuts and games. In Squirrel or Die, we explore the mental rigors of surviving the hide-or-go-starve-to-death dilemmas of the modern tree rodent. Do you have what it takes to be the last varmint standing?
Squirrel or Die is a tile game which takes 20 min or less to play. Game play is split into Autumn (hide food) and Winter (eat food) phases. Your goal is to be the only squirrel to survive winter. In the Autumn phase, you take turns discovering new tiles and setting up the board. In the Winter phase, you consume what you “squirreled away” in autumn and try to last as long you can.
