Taking turns spinning the wheel, each player follows the instructions given on the spinner. If the spinner lands on a colored space, the player will use the Squirrel squeezer to pick up the matching acorn and place it on the matching space of his stump. The spinner could also land on pick an acorn, pick two acorns, lose an acorn, steal an acorn, or skip a turn. Images on the spinner, like a sad squirrel for the losing of an acorn, add to the charm of the game.
