Read the full game description
Hungry Hamsters is a compact simultaneous roll-and-write game about filling a family of hamster burrows. Each roll tells everyone how many connected spaces may be crossed off in one cave, so players balance finishing a room against positioning the next mark. Completed caves, mushrooms, and nuts earn points. Once any player reaches the fourth cave, the end timer begins and every remaining die roll matters. The same simple die creates different little spatial puzzles on every sheet, including a dedicated solo challenge.
