Squatter is a board game that was launched at the Royal Melbourne Show in 1962, invented by Robert (Bob) Crofton Lloyd.
The Squatter game presents players with a mixture of strategy and luck that reflects the many challenges facing any form of livestock raising.
The game has been added to the collections Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and Outback Centre[6] as well as the National Wool Museum[7] and the National Museum of Australia[5] where in the Statement of Significance it quotes"'Squatter's' focus on sheep farming reflects the inextricable link between this industry and Australian history more broadly."
and "The 'Squatter' boardgame, which has been a household favourite in Australia for 45 years, offers players a rough simulation of life as a sheep farmer with all the daily trials and tribulations this entails.
Mental Floss's position is that:"Some board games turn up the tension so high you practically sweat through your clothes.
