The Squirrel Cell - RootJam 2024
A downloadable game
As the Squirrel Cell, you fight for the Cause - to free the Woodland by any means necessary. You dwell in the forests, using the element of surprise to plant your acorn bombs, or to sacrifice a warrior for the Cause before scurrying back into the trees when morning arrives.
You sow fear in the enemy, who once trod the paths fearlessly. Now they tremble at the thought of a Squirrel emerging from the forest to blow themselves up and become a martyr for the Cause.
The more martyrs you make by sacrificing warriors, the more actions you will have, but once martyred, those warriors are gone for good. Be careful to balance your martyrs with your forces in the Woodland.

Great job! I like how the faction design scales your sacrifice of warriors (permanently!) for points and actions. I can definitely see a Marquisate general having a hissy fit after hearing that another seasoned, battle-hardened warrior was taken out by a crazy, fanatical squirrel.
Ha thanks! I tried to dog into the theme with this but not as much as you have!
move with bomb is a little confusing-do you need a bomb to move the squirrels, or is it optional? love the meeple design you got here-so much better than the harrier! lol
Really beautiful looking faction! Good luck!
Thanks! I was checking yours out and I love the Mesoamerican theme. Good luck to you too!
