Mit Mist und Tücke is a board game released in 2014 for 2–4 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 5 and up. It was designed by Helmut Ast and Katrin Kuhr.
Game description from the publisher: The dung beetles are gathering food for their baby beetles. Methodically, they roll their dung across the wood and up the hill. Absolutely exhausting! Luckily the dear little critters are waiting on the other side of the valley. All it takes is a little shove, and the dung begins to roll all by itself down the hill to the caves. But who's hiding among the bushes? That up-to-no-good hedgehog is looking to interfere! He rolls himself into a ball and races down the hill. Soon, all the dung is rolling in all different directions. Who will be the first to gather all his dung safely home in Mit Mist und Tücke, filling the caves with food?
Mit Mist und Tücke supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Mit Mist und Tücke is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mit Mist und Tücke for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
