In the forests of Chile, there is a great plague of invasive bugs, which unbalance the ecosystem and they consume natural resources, displacing native species. The spider Moly, of the species Molinaranea magellanica, is a great jacket that uses its colors to camouflage itself between tree branches, where it weaves its net to hunt its prey. Help Moly build her fabric. Roll the dice, draw a spider web, improve your stamina and your knowledge of the bugs in the puzzles, to catch the most invading bugs, and thus score the most points. —description from the designer En los bosques de Chile, hay una gran plaga de bichos invasores, que desequilibran el ecosistema y consumen los recursos naturales, desplazando a las especies nativas. La araña Moly, de la especie Molinaranea magellanica, es una gran cazadora que utiliza sus colores para camuflarse entre las ramas de los árboles, en donde teje su red para cazar a sus presas. Lanzen los dados, dibujen una telaraña, mejoren su resistencia y sus conocimientos sobre los bichos en los puzles, para atrapar a la mayor cantidad de insectos invasores, y así conseguir la mayor cantidad de puntos. —description from the designer (Spanish)
Moly Atrapa supports 1–99 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 Moly Atrapa is 10–20 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 Moly Atrapa for ages 10 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.
