About the game
All the colorful bugs love to play under the rug! Help all of the bugs get snug under the rug before the 3 stink bugs stink up the place! In other words, the object of the game is get all the colorful bugs under the board before the 3 stink bugs are on top of the board. There are three levels of play involving matching attributes: simple colour matching; roll and find a match on a spinner then a matching bug; and using a spinner only match the bug with two attributes. Each time a bug match is found it is slipped under the board. If there is no match a stink bug is placed on top of the board. Keep taking turns until either all the bugs are under the board or 3 stink bugs are on top of the board. Contents: 24 bright bugs, three stink bugs, a die, instructions for three game levels and a game board with a built-in spinner.
