A possum is snoring upside-down from a tree branch. On your turn, tap SPIN! and the wheel tells you how many pokes you get, from 1 to 6. Each poke pops one acorn into your basket and gives the possum a surprise.

Take turns poking until someone collects 15 acorns. Then the possum wobbles, falls, and acorns go everywhere!
