From BoardGameGeek
Nut Hunt is a fast-paced squirrel placement game where 1-5 players battle for control of the forest. But watch out! The wily fox roams the board scattering squirrels. Clever players will use the fox to their advantage, positioning their critters to scatter onto favorable territories, or strategically hassling the fox to foil their opponents' plans. Turns in Nut Hunt are fast paced and intuitive with one mandatory action: Move the Fox (causing squirrel scattering, and nut foraging), followed by your choice of one optional action: Recruit a Squirrel, Hassle the Fox, or Scout an Objective. When three squirrels get together they form a nest, and the game ends when a player places their fourth nest. Points are scored based on completed objectives. Whoever has the most points win.
