Overview

What ABG knows about this game

From the publisher: When the band leaves the rehearsal room, you sneak out from your hiding place to assault the refrigerator: how great! How do you feel being a hungry beat-beetle? If your fingers are quick enough you could eat yourself fill... as long as the drummer doesn’t get back to stop you! Beetlez is a new game in a new format in the Allegro line (same box of Fredericus). After the offering of four card games (Moby Pick, Mr. Bill, Abracadabra and Farfalia), Allegro line debuts with a board/tile game with still the same philosophy: easy and fast game for the whole family. Could you guess what? You’re now a cute beetle frantically looking for food in the rehearsal room of a music band. Each beetle has his own preferences in terms of food, but the hunt is hectic: food tiles are displaced face down all over the table, with the players grabbing them, flipping them, looking at them, taking them or putting them back, all of these at the same time... at least until the light is turned on! The box contains 91 foods, 5 refuges, 4 light bulbs, 21 taste cards, 3 “Gotcha!”, 1 “Greedy”, 1 linen bag, rules. It guarantees a load of fun also to the ones hating beetles...
