Good option for those that just want something to play that’s a bit hectic (the HEXBUG and rolling the Die). For every bug that falls into your trap, you receive a bug token. The first player to collect five bug tokens loses the game.

The strategy in Bugs in the Kitchen is pretty light. Basically all you do in the game is roll the die and then turn one of the utensils on the board. This decision is usually not that big of deal. On most turns it is going to be really obvious what utensil you should turn. There will usually either be a utensil that will really help you or hurt another player. Otherwise you should probably just turn a utensil near your own trap.The rules of the game stay the same. However, in this variation, everyone tries to keep the bug out of their own trap. React fast and move the utensils in the right direction to guide the bug into your trap. Each bug you trap earns you one bug token. The first player to collect 5 tokens wins the game. The HEXBUG nano will crawl all across the game board. You can direct its path and lure it into the trap by strategically turning utensils. Overall, the Bugs in The Kitchen Board Game is a hit both among experienced gamers and casual players alike. It provides hours of entertainment for everyone involved and ensures that no two rounds are ever exactly alike. Illustrate the game components

Players begin the Bugs In The Kitchen board game by arranging their pieces on the four corners of the kitchen. The number of pieces each player has is determined by the number of players in the game.Once all the pieces are ready and in place, each player rolls a die to determine who goes first. I can’t say skill or complexity is involved in this game at all. Rolling the Die and being on the ball (basically being fast) seems to be what’s required. Set Up – Playing Rules & InstructionsThey're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. You play as an exterminator tasked with removing a bug from the kitchen. To start you release a small self-propelled robot insect (Hexbug Nano), into a 3D maze made of cutlery that can be rotated to change possible routes. But you're only allowed to rotate a specific piece of cutlery when you roll the corresponding shape on the dice. So each turn you have to try and get the bug closer to your side of the board, by creating a path that forces it out of the door nearest to you. The first player rolls again to determine how many spaces they can move their piece. For example, if they roll a “2”, they can move any one of their pieces two spaces across the kitchen counter. Players then take turns rolling the die and moving respective pieces around the board. Multiple reviewers noted that the game is easy to learn and challenging enough for fans of strategy games. One highly praised aspect is its replay value”players can enjoy it again and again because each round has varying components that can lead to different outcomes. Furthermore, the quality of materials used to create the board game is quite impressive and gives it a luxurious feel.

This player has received five bug tokens so they have won the game. My Thoughts on Bugs in the Kitchen The youngest player starts. Turn on the the HEXBUG nano by flipping the switch found underneath the device and place it in the middle of the game board. With there basically only being one decision to make in the game it should come as no surprise that Bugs in the Kitchen is really easy to learn and play. The game should only take minutes to teach to new players. While the game has a recommended age of 6+ I think children under six may be able to play the game. They might have some trouble understanding the strategy of the game but I don’t see younger children having trouble understanding how to play the game.

Start the game by releasing your bug ‘bot on the game surface.

It has earned a great deal of praise for its unique design, vibrant colors, clever storyline, and playability for all ages. The player who won the last bug token begins the the next round. Tips for playing with the HEXBUG nano: Setting up at first requires an adult to insert traps and utensils into pegs, and prepare the board for playing.
