Feudum: Squirrels & Conifers is an expansion for Feudum released in 2018 for 2–6 players, 80–180 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Mark K. Swanson and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Area Majority / Influence, and Simultaneous Action Selection.
Description from the publisher: Feudum: Squirrels & Conifers is a "mini-expansion" featuring 50 tasty squirrels and 6 wooden conifer trees that bring the board's topography to life! This expansion replaces the green food cubes with pink ones and creates a multiplying food source on the map. NOTE: The pink cubes are more accessible for color blind players and may also be used apart from the expansion rules. RULES: - Remove the green food cubes from the game and use the pink "squirrel" cubes instead. - Whenever a brown wood cube is placed on the map (during setup or replenishment), place a conifer tree next to it, if one is available. - Place a pink cube beside any tree you just placed and beside any tree without a squirrel during replenishment.
Feudum: Squirrels & Conifers supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Feudum: Squirrels & Conifers is 80–180 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Feudum: Squirrels & Conifers for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
