## Description
Winter is coming, and the squirrels are in a frantic race to gather as many treats as possible before the meadow is picked clean! In *Sweepers*, everyone acts simultaneously: reveal a card from your deck, find the matching token on the meadow, and use your rake to pull it to your side—but be careful, if you miss the target or knock off the wrong treat, you’ll waste precious time fixing your mistakes. Each new card demands you spot different combinations of colors and items, turning the game into a test of reflexes, sharp eyes, and hand-eye coordination. The game features two modes: *That’s My Stash!*, a competitive race to collect your treats first, and *Quick Paws*, a cooperative real-time challenge where players work together before the sand timer runs out. With simple rules, simultaneous action, and physical interaction, *Sweepers* is a lively family game that hones observation, fine motor skills, and keeps everyone engaged from start to finish.
