Sugar Gliders

Sugar Gliders is a board game for two to four players. Each game lasts around 20 minutes. Each player has a sugar glider, that has to collect as many fruits as possible by jumping from branch to branch.

The sugar glider is a small marsupial that loves nectarous foods. As its name suggests, it’s capable of gliding through the air, much like a flying squirrel.

COMPONENTS

- A board depicting a tree with 61 cells.

- 4 sugar gliders in different colours.

- 60 food tiles in 5 types: 1 fruit, 2 fruits, 3 fruits, 4 fruits, 1 big fruit (5 points).

- A carrying case.

GAME PREPARATION

Each player chooses a player color and takes the corresponding sugar glider.

Leaving the center space empty, randomly distribute the 60 tiles face-up to the 60 other spaces on the tree, 1 per space.

White starts by choosing any space with a white fruit (value 1 tile), and placing his sugar glider on it. The tile in that space will be his ‘jumping tile’. In turn, the other players do the same.

The game can start now. White plays first.

GAME RULES

The game is played in turns, counterclockwise. On your turn, you must either make your sugar glider jump or go into a brief state of torpor:
