Overview

Fruttirelli is a children’s board game for 2-4 players published by Zoch Verlag. Players help parent animals (hedgehog, hare, squirrel, and badger) forage for food and bring provisions back to their families. The game features collectible food items including apples, mushrooms, and berries scattered across the board. The player who returns to their family first while bringing sufficient provisions for everyone wins the game.

Turn Structure

2. Move Your Animal

Actions

Foraging

Land on food spaces to collect provisions. Different food types may have different values or requirements.

Returning Home

Once you have collected enough provisions for your family, head back to your home/family tile. You must have sufficient food for all family members.

Path Choices

The board may offer multiple paths, allowing players to choose routes that maximize food collection opportunities.

Scoring / Victory Conditions

Win: The first player to return to their family with sufficient provisions for everyone wins.

Sufficient Provisions: You must collect enough food items (the required number varies based on family size) before returning home.

Special Rules & Edge Cases

Food Requirements

Each animal family requires a specific number of food items. Returning home without enough food is not allowed (or does not count as winning).

Shared Spaces

Multiple animals may occupy the same space. Food tokens on a space are taken by the first animal to arrive.

Die Results

Some die results may trigger special events (wild animals, shortcuts, or detours).
