Fritz Stibitz

Collect acorns in your log

As a hungry squirrel you are collecting acorns for winter.

The playing area, shaped like a tree, is equipped with all acorns. Each player receives a log. Each of those logs shows five holes that are marked with one color each – red, yellow, blue, purple and green. Those colors are also visible on the spinner and the acorns. Besides the color areas the spinner also shows symbols for one and two acorns, for a sad and a thieving squirrel and for the squirrel storm. An especially attractive feature are the tongues for picking up acorns from the  or from the  log, it is shaped like a squirrel and the front paws can be squeezed together.

The active player turns the spinner. When the indicator points to a color, you pick up an acorn of this color with the squirrel und put it into the hole of the same color on your  log. When the hole is already filled, the turn passes to the next player. If the indicator points to one of the acorn symbols, you may pick up one or two acorns of any color and put them into the corresponding holes on your log. If the indicator points to the thieving squirrel you may take an acorn from another player and for the sad squirrel you must pass your turn. The squirrel storm has very nasty consequences, if it is your spinner result you must give back all acorns that you already collected. If you manage to be first to fill your  log, you win.

Fritz Stibitz is cute, very cute! And it works well! The squirrel-shaped tongues without any expendable parts are the highlight in the simple roll & collect game and. All other mechanisms are standard, but very nicely mixed, and the rest of the components are on par with Fritz Stibitz himself.
