Mini Story
Squatter is a much-loved Australian classic, often described as Australia’s answer to Monopoly, but with a distinctly rural twist. Built around sheep stations, stock sales, droughts and floods, it reflects real farming principles and Australian life. Finding examples with untouched contents like this is becoming increasingly rare, making this a standout survivor.
