About the game
What you do in a play session
In Go Nuts!, the race is on to see who can collect the most acorn points! Each turn, you grab five squirrel dice and roll them. If cars appear, they are set aside, but if acorns show up, each is worth one point. After each roll, the decision is yours: stop and bank the points or risk another roll? Be careful, because if all dice show squirrels, you lose everything you've accumulated that turn and enter 'Go Nuts!' mode.
When that happens, the adrenaline kicks in! You start rolling all five dice as fast as you can, shouting out the total number of acorns that appear. Meanwhile, your opponents, in a fun chaotic scramble, each roll one dog die. This die has five doghouse sides and one dog side. As soon as an opponent rolls a dog, they bark! Once all the barks have been heard, you stop and score all the acorns you managed to collect in this special 'Go Nuts!' round. The game continues like this, turn by turn, until someone reaches or exceeds fifty acorn points and claims victory. It's a quick game, full of luck and hilarious moments of pressure!
