About the game
A card game for children (6+ years). From the publisher: "Game of observation and speed. Pick up an apple, swat a mosquito, place a bee on its flower ? No time to think about ! But for sure, you have to be the first one to do it." A mosquito, a flower and an apple are placed in front of all the players and each of the players gets his/her own bee. All the cards, showing either a mosquito, a bee or an apple, are dealt to the players. During the game, all the players turn over one of their cards simultaneously. If there are two (or more) of the same cards shown in the newly turned over cards, then the player s to whom the cards belong must get into action: - If there are 2 or more mosquito cards, they have to squat the mosquito - If there are 2 or more apple cards, they have to grab the apple - If there are 2 or more bee cards, they have to take their own bee and put it on the flower The fastest player wins a ladybird chip. Making an incorrect move, ie squatting the flower or grabbing the mosquito, costs a ladybird chip. The player with the most ladybird chips when all the cards have been turned over wins the game.

Questions and answers
Mosquito 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 Mosquito is 10 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 Mosquito for ages 6 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.
Mosquito has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
