Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Turn all of the bug tiles face down to form a sandbox of hidden bugs. The first player draws a card from the deck that indicates how many bugs they need to find. If you need to find three bugs for example, begin turning over bug tiles until you’ve found three bugs, and keep the tiles you’ve turned over. You can also stop after you’ve found less than three bugs and in this case, also get to keep the tiles you’ve turned over so far. If you decided to keep going and end up finding more than three bugs - or if you turn over a Buggo the spider tile, you don’t collect any bug tiles on this turn and must return whatever you’ve turned over so it is face down where you found it. Each bug tile you collect is worth a point, and the player with the most points wins. This is a children's game that stimulates counting and memory skills.
