To play: One player is one type of bug; the other player is the other bug. The fi rst player puts a bug on the blank end of the shu� eboard and pushes it toward the grid. When the bug stops moving, the other player pushes a bug toward the grid. Each player gets the number of points listed on the space where his or her bug lands (or no points for that turn). Players continue taking turns. After fi ve turns, players add up their points, and the player with the most points wins.
