Birds, Bugs and Beans (2003)

About this game

From the publisher: It's a party in the jungle and you're invited! Everyone starts with a stack of animal cards and simultaneously tosses a random card into the center. You're trying to catch all the animals... but you have to be quick. Whenever a Bird, Bug or Bean shows up you have to act fast! You've got to tweet for the Birds, clap or slap the Bugs and toot for the Beans. First player to react catches all the animals in the pile! Whoever catches the most animals wins! It's a hilarious wild time as everyone tries to tweet, clap, slap and toot all at once! Optional rules included for adding more actions to the game for even more zaniness!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 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.
