About the game
Who will solve the cockroach problem? In Schaben jagen, the player draws a task card, places the game pieces as indicated on the game board and takes the illustrated movement cards. His task: To move the exterminator so skillfully that he catches all cockroaches. To do so, he must play his movement cards in the correct order. He can only use each of them once. After that, all cockroaches run into a field. Sitting a cockroach in a straight line to the exterminator, he sucks them and takes them from the field. The task is fulfilled if he gets all the cockroaches before he runs out of motion cards. —description from the publisher
