Bauboom

Collect material and build an anthill

Ants are building up their hills, players help them to collect building materials. The ant track on the board is filled with open-faced material tiles, that were previously shuffled face-down, according to specification, the remaining tiles are placed in the container, also face-down. The active player rolls two dice and can use an individual result or the sum of both results to move his wheelbarrow. If you end your move on an empty case, nothing happens. A tile on the case you reached can be taken or ignored. On a case with a Lady Bird and a tile you must place the tile face-down into your wheelbarrow and also a tile from the container; when the Lady Bird case is empty you only take a tile from the container. On a case with the Anteater you must give back the tile that you collected last and put it into the container. If there is a wheelbarrow on the case you reached, you push it onto the next case the owner of the wheelbarrow must take the tile there. If you are back on the starting case, you empty your wheelbarrow and place tiles onto your ant hill; you begin in the bottom row, colors must correspond and you can only fill higher places when both places below are filled. You must use all tiles; if you cannot do so, you must give unused tiles back to the container and also one penalty tile from your hill for each used tile.

The other players meanwhile fill empty cases on the track with new tiles.

Bauboom is an enchanting placement and collecting game for children, which is – due to the choice of dice results and thus of your target case as well as the option to not take a tile – also a very nice family game.
