About the game
Ardillas del Bosque ("Chipmunks") is a family game in which each player represents a squirrel that will first hide its fruits in the forest (in addition to its "traps") and then pick them up, trying to steal the fruits of other neighboring squirrels. The game consists of a very innovative modular board adaptable to the number of players, as well as fruit set by squirrels. During the turn a player will first place his fruits and trap on the board, and later once all the fruits are placed and "hidden" they begin to steal one by one. The mechanics of the game combines set collection and memory. Also in the board different animals are represented (one face day animals and the other side night animals) which perform actions that will help or hinder the tasks of the squirrel players. The one who gets the best combination of fruits will win at the end of the game. —description from the publisher Ardillas del bosque es un juego familiar donde cada jugador representa a una ardilla que primero esconderá sus frutos en el bosque (además de sus "trampas") y después las recogerá, intentando robar los frutos de otras ardillas vecinas. El juego consta de un tablero modular muy innovador adaptable al número de jugadores, así como conjuntos de frutos por ardillas. Durante el turno un jugador primero colocará sus frutos y trampa en el tablero y, posteriormente - una vez que todos los frutos están colocados y "escondidos" -, se empiezan a robar uno a uno. La mecánica del juego combina, «set collection» y «memory». Además en el tablero vienen representados diferentes animales (una cara animales de día y en la otra cara animales de noche) los cuales realizan unas acciones que ayudarán o dificultarán las tareas de las ardillas jugadoras. Ganará aquel que consiga mejor combinación de frutos al final del juego. —description from the publisher (Spanish)
