Be the king of the forest! Winter is coming...and the forest creatures are busy gathering nuts and hoarding food in preparation for the cold season. Your goal is to be the first to hoard five nuts of the same kind before anyone else. Hoarders is a simple and fast-paced game for the whole family. Each turn, you select two critters to use. Each player uses one critter in turn until all critters have been used. Critters allow you to gather nuts, to steal nuts from other player's hoards, and of course to trick your opponents. The first player to collect five identical nuts wins! —description from the publisher The aim of this fun game is to be the first to get 5 matching seed cards. All players select two of their animal cards to play with and apply the actions of the chosen cards to get the seeds they need and become the king of the forest. Each player has a set of 5 animal cards. Each animal does a different action. 3 seeds are dealt to each one. Each player selects and sets aside two cards with which to play the round. In order and one at a time, they are uncovered and their effects revealed (two rounds). Each player collects their two cards, which are then available for the next move. The player who first gets five matching seed cards wins. —description from the publisher (translated) El objetivo de este divertido juego es ser el primero en conseguir 5 cartas de semillas iguales.
