catch the creepy-crawlies!

Cockroaches in the kitchen! You are the exterminator and use movement cards to plan the necessary sequence of steps to catch all cockroaches.

Each of the 80 puzzles – you solve them best in order, as they have been numbered according to level of difficulty and sorted – shows the starting positions for exterminator, cockroaches and chests as well as the movement cards that can use; the line of sight must be adhered to for both cockroaches and exterminator already in the set-up.

Movement cards allow either moving the exterminator or changing his line of sight; therefore, in his turn, he can either move or change direction and line of sight. The first move is done by the exterminator, using one of his movement cards, in line of sight, any number of cases over free cases and not across cases with chests or cockroaches and not out of the board. The movement card you used is spent and cannot be used again. Then all cockroaches move one step in their line of sight or turn by 180° when blocked by the exterminator or chests. Several cockroaches on a case are possible. Then the exterminator has a turn, then the cockroaches, then the exterminator, and so on. The exterminator catches cockroaches by moving on a case with cockroaches or by sucking them into his vacuum cleaner – all cockroaches in line of sight regardless of their distance to the exterminator; he must, however, be stationary, he cannot suck them up in passing. Behind chests, cockroaches are safe from the vacuum cleaner.

A nice change of topic for a well-known standard game principle; the vacuum cleaner is a cute, well-working detail. Think fun, think fun to play!
