What to Expect

In Bug Race, players each control a bug whose legs they move using hand management cards. The goal is to navigate the bug through nine levels of a track without legs tangling or detaching. Players draw and pass cards each round to plan their moves, creating a dynamic and fast-paced race. The track consists of sections where the bug's body and legs move strategically.

Who Is This Game For?

This game is aimed at families and children aged 8 and older who enjoy quick, simple games. It is an easy-to-learn family game with low complexity and a playtime around 20 minutes. No prior experience is needed, making it accessible for casual players and kids.

How It Works

Each round, players draw two hand management cards, keep one and pass the other. These cards allow moving specific legs of their bug, which consists of a body and six legs, along the track. Legs must always touch the body at least diagonally to avoid being ‘lost.’ The first player to get their bug across the finish line wins.

What Makes It Special
