Hamstern
2–5 players · 30 min · 6+
Hamstern is a game about placing hamsters, trying to enclose territory so as to win ears of corn (which looks suspiciously like wheat). Enclosing territory along the edge of the board is easier, but the amount of corn that can be earned in that way is limited. The player who earns the most ears of corn by the end of the game wins.
