I live in New York and as an animal I have the sense to appreciate other animals around me. Outside of the Pigeon, the Falcon (you know they eat the Pigeons), the Rat and the Stray Cat there is another underappreciated creature of the city -- The Squirrel.
In High School a friend of mine insisted that Squirrels were trying to get into his house and steal his wallet. They are crafty buggers.
Feast your eyes on the grandure.

I figured that I'd start here as this is the Holy Grail of Squirrel games. The Germans appreciate the Squirrel, as they have devised a game displaying what Squirrels do best -- getting Nuts.

It is apparent that other Germans appreciate the Squirrel. In this game they decided to show a different side of our fluffy friend -- getting nuts ... In wheelbarrows.

In this game the Germans have revealed the sneaky nature of Squirrels, and yes they can be quite sneaky. Now Squirrels bluff for nuts.

If I were a Squirrel I would totaly want this game. I would take it, and hide it in my tree. Then come winter time, my children would die as these nuts are only made of plastic. I would then curse the names of the Squirrel Gods that made me.

Children must thrust their hands into a whirling vortex of nuts and grab acorns before ravenous Squirrels chew their fingers off. A classic dexterity game.

This game is just like the movie The Warriors. A Squirrel must make his way home against all odds in order to survive, of course the Squirrel isn't facing subway fires, homicidal lesbians, or the Baseball Furries, but the message is the same. And look at the cover they have to have a sticker to show how dangerous this game is. Can you dig it?

I feel that the Squirrel was miscast in this.

Rocky is a flying squirrel. He is seen here on the far right, disguised as a hand puppet.

Yep that was 12 Power Grid maps back to back over two days. Worth doing, but possibly not in such a concentrated burst.
Ooh yes, now a little to the left - my nose is itchy. No, no the other left! Now what colour is 12 supporter badge going to be I wonder?

The date: 21st December 1944
The place: Bastogne, Belgium
The person: General Anthony C McAuliffe, acting commander 101st Airborne Division
The comment: "NUTS"
After assistance with translation General Heinrich von Luettwitz of the German XLVIIth Armoured Corps assumed that his opposite was simply rejecting his offer to surrender.
What the comment really was about, and this information is only just being declassified now slightly over 60 years later, is that the 101st Airborne Division included a few battalions of crack troops well above the standard of the normal troops of even the 101st or 82nd Airborne Divisions.
Yes it can now be revealed that these crack troops were in fact squirrels. "NUTS" was the rallying and inspirational cry to send the furry mammals into a beserker fury to resist all that the XLVIIth Armoured Corps could throw at them and to return the favour in kind.
The rest, as they say, is history (subject to various official secrets acts of course).

Here is an example of how squirrels are taken advantage of by modern society. The squirrels in this game are represented by counters that you must supply yourself, and they are being lured into the candy factory to jam up the machines so that Devil Bunny can't make his evil taffy that will let him destroy the world. While that may be a noble goal, the squirrels are just innocent pawns caught in the middle of it all.
As an aside, back in the Eighties you'd be wondering what drugs the game designer was on while coming up with the idea for this game. Now, you wonder how long the designer has been off his medication.

Do you not find it suspicious that so many of these squirrel games are designed to appeal, not to the mature and experienced gamer, but to our vulnerable and impressionable young?

The benchmark of a great game designer is his or her Squirrel game. This is Knizia's, though inexplicably released only in Finland. No image found: perhaps the BGG administrators refuse to accept them, lest we grow insanely jealous of the Finns?

Forest Friends my ass. This is a balls out, tooth and nail, bloody race to the end of the Forest Path. Guess who's gonna win. That's right. The Squirrel. How? They jump from trees to maul the rabbits on the neck. The Squirrel will win because they must -- at all costs.
By the way what they forgot to tell you on the box is that the forest is on fire, only the first one out will survive the BBQ.

I'm not really sure what they are trying to say here. Squirrels just eat nuts because they like them, they could quit at any time.

=give me your tacos, human filth!
The 'choking HAZARD' is from 'when' you PLAY this, since like a certain "Operation" GAME, you could 'mis-happenly' goof-up or 'CHOKE', when you 'touch the sides' as you REMOVE a 'piece' during THAT. Then again, if some of US were to 'have to PLAY' this, then there could definitely BE a "choking HAZARD" on the part of whomever 'suggested' THIS in the first place! I'm just sayin'...
...uhhh, actually 'sisteray', it would 'appear' that the poor critter is undergoing a "full-handed Prostate EXAM!" and this could 'lead' to a "disgruntled, disenchanted, discombobulated" Flying-Squirrel 'going POSTAL!' on some unfortunate persons in the immediate vicinity! L @ @ K~~~~~@ U T !
uhhhh...that 'girl' is FINE with 'this' since SHE ain't gots NO 'NUTS' to be 'concerned' about! On the other hand, even that little 'boy' don't seem TOO 'amused' with any 'Nut Snatchin' Critters'~especially if ole "M.J" gets OFF...yet again some MORE!~'PUNS' alluded and extruded!
