## Description
NUT is a cute and compact card game where you play as a squirrel collecting nuts before winter arrives. The goal? Stack tree cards in your play area to store nuts of different colors, but remember: only one nut per color per tree counts! Squirrels are your secret multipliers — the more you have, the more points you score. This game blends abstract strategy with a charming theme, and it fits in your pocket (literally, since it comes in a pack the size of a deck of cards). In 15 minutes, you'll master the art of layering cards, planning combos, and praying your opponent doesn't steal that last yellow nut you needed. Pro tip: don't underestimate the squirrels. They're adorable but score like crazy!

## FAQ
### Player count?
2-3. Works well at all counts but gets chaotic with 3.

### Language dependent?
None! Cards use only colors and icons.

### Minimum recommended age?
8+ for the abstract strategy, but younger kids can play with help.

### Need much table space?
Nope! Fits on an airplane tray table — play areas are tiny.

### Easy to learn?
Yes! Rules take 2 minutes to teach, but mastering combos takes longer.

### Worth it for heavy gamers?
As a filler or casual game, yes. Don't expect Twilight Imperium depth.
