Insectini

creepy-crawlies under leaves

 

A strong gust of wind has swirled up foliage and the little creepy-crawlies have lost their hide-away under the leaves. Players assist the insects in hiding again beneath suitable leaves.

36 double-sided insect tiles - with an image of the same insect on both sides of the tile - are displayed openly on the table; tiles must not touch each other and must not overlap. Leaf tiles show a leaf on the back side and on the front side one of the insects, within a silhouette of a leaf. All leaf tiles are shuffled face-down, backside up, that is, and are then evenly distributed to all players, who stack their tiles face-down without looking at them.

All play simultaneously - each player draws the current top tile from his stack and looks for the insect among the tiles in the display. If you spot the suitable insect, you cover it with the leaf tile, leaf side up and immediately draw the next leaf tile from your stack to find the next insect. If you have no tiles left in your stack, you call „Insectini“. All other players continue to distribute their leaf tiles. When all tiles are correctly placed, you win, if you are the one who called „Insectini“. When a mistake was made, that is, a leaf tile is left over, or an insect cannot be covered correctly, you must repeat the round.

In the Das große Insectini-Krabbeln variant you play the same way, but you do not display the insect tiles on the table - you distribute them on the floor of the room.

This is a pretty and very simple spotting game - all insects are visible, so you only need to be quick and look closely! The insects are wittily drawn, and the floor version provides exercise!
