What is Squirrel Island?
Squirrel Island is a web-released board game designed by Rasmus & Robin Karlsson. It was released in July 2022 as a Print & Play as well as an add-on for the game Tabletop Simulator.
What is the game about?
When the first nut falls, the game to gather nuts begin. Take on the role of a squirrel leader and lead your team to victory. Use your stamina to recruit squirrels with different skills and buy the items you need to gather more nuts than your opponents. The winner will be the one who has gathered most nuts at the end of the last day. But don’t take out the result in advance, when counting your final score all stashed nuts are revealed which might end in a surprise victory!
Why did you release it online instead of making it into a real board game?
We would very much like to see it on the store shelf one day but for now it’s more important for us to just release it in any way possible so that people can play it. If we do turn it into an actual product we want it to be the best game it can be, and releasing it like this is a way for us to see what peoples impressions of it are. Time will tell what will happen but for now we are happy that anyone who wants to, can play it.
