Fliegenschmaus (2015)

About this game

From the publisher: Bzzzz, bothersome flies are buzzing all around. Inviting landing pads are everywhere, but the flies only have eyes for the brown feasting pile of "fly candy". Only the player who plays his cards correctly can quickly move ahead with his flies! But beware! No one is safe from the fly swatter, and some flies may have to return to the starting point just before they reach their final destination. User summary: In Fly Feast, each player tries to move his four flies from the starting space to the destination. The players take turns. Each turn, they first draw a card. This triggers some effect, which may apply a permanent special effect to a space. After drawing the card, the may move one of their flies one or two spaces. The first player to reach the destination with all of his flies wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
