About the game

What you do in a play session

In *Acorn Run*, you're a squirrel in a wild race through the treetops! This game blends deck-building with racing strategy: use cards to boost your squirrel, spend acorns for special abilities, and pull off epic jumping combos between trees. Bigger combos mean more points — but watch out, the winner could be either the fastest or the most acrobatic! It's a tightrope walk between speed and planning: will you rush ahead or craft risky combos? Simple components (cards and tokens) hide deep decisions, perfect for fans of dynamic games with controlled chaos. Pro tip: never underestimate a well-timed acorn!
