Bugs (2010)

About this game

There is an insect swarm coming your way, and you want to be the first to get it off your property. Bugs! is a ladder climbing game where players try to get rid of their cards. The first player to get rid of all his cards wins the round. The cards in the other player's hands count against them. The player with the least points after 6 rounds is the winner. Cards range from 1 to 9 with declining quantities (1 card nr 9, 9 cards nr 1) and there are a few special action cards that spice things up.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
