Bugs

You want to rid of the insect cards on hand as fast as possible. The game comprises 45 insect cards of numbered 1 to 9 in quantities reciprocal to their value, 2 cards Outbreak, and actions cards: 3 x Net, 3 x Repellent and 1 x Exterminator. The first player puts down one or more cards of one kind and announces the total value; Outbreak as a joker replaces any insect card. The next player can add one or more cards of the same kind and announce the new swarm value or play a swarm of higher value and the same size or play an action card: Net means passing, Repellent reverses direction of play and Exterminator reduced the swarm value to 0. If you cannot play one or more cards or do not want to do so you must pick up the current swarm, add it to your hand and start a new one. If you are out of cards you end the round and each player scores one point for each card in his hand. After 6 rounds you win with the lowest score.
