Fun and entertaining simulation game
Fun and entertaining. Based on real life sheep farming. Every game brings new challenges. As in real life, chance plays a part… no one knows when the next drought or flood will strike.
Prudent players employ good strategies and careful management to reduce risks and achieve optimum results.
Two to six players
2 to 6 people can play. Many games, including card games, require a set number of players. Squatter can happily entertain 2 people or just as easily provide for 5 or 6 players.
Young and old enjoy Squatter
Wide range of ages from 10 and upwards. (younger children can enjoy Squatter but may need assistance.) While Squatter is designed to entertain adults, never-the-less, children over a wide range of ages, also enjoy playing. Squatter enables several generations to play on an equal footing.
