Squatter Classic — The Iconic Australian Board Game

Squatter Classic — The Iconic Australian Board Game

Run a sheep station — fitting, for a capital built on a paddock.

Bill Bryson once called Canberra a good sheep paddock spoiled, and there is no better way to enjoy that jab than over a game of Squatter. This authentic Australian classic has been running since 1962, putting players in charge of their own sheep station as they battle drought, flood, footrot and fickle wool prices to come out on top. It is genuinely clever, wonderfully nostalgic and exactly the kind of long, argument-filled family game that suits a cold capital evening. For the family after a screen-free night, the expat homesick for the bush, or anyone who appreciates that the Bush Capital was, quite literally, grazing land not so long ago — it is a warm, wholesome main present that outlasts every fad on the shelf.
