Ravensburger Bugs in the Kitchen Board Game for Kids Age 6 Years and Up - Catch the Hexbug Nano! & Cat & Mouse Board Games for Children Age 4 Years Up - Gifts for Kids

Product Information

You play as an exterminator tasked with removing a bug from the kitchen. To start you release a small self-propelled robot insect (Hexbug Nano), into a 3D maze made of cutlery that can be rotated to change possible routes. But you're only allowed to rotate a specific piece of cutlery when you roll the corresponding shape on the dice. So each turn you have to try and get the bug closer to your side of the board, by creating a path that forces it out of the door nearest to you. I think the biggest problem with Bugs in the Kitchen is the fact that the bug seems to have a mind of its’ own. You could create a perfect path towards your own trap and the bug can just decide to go in the other direction. Once I had a straight path set up for the bug to go into my trap but it decided to randomly turn two corners and go into another player’s trap. While this actually simulates how a bug would probably move, it does reduce the importance of strategy in the game. It doesn’t matter how good you are at creating a path if the bug decides not to follow it. Children aged 6 and above along with parents love playing this game. Good option for those that just want something to play that’s a bit hectic (the HEXBUG and rolling the Die).

Ask a grown-up to help you set up the game. Carefully remove all the pieces from the perforated panels. To set up the game board:Bugs in the Kitchen includes one Hexbug, two button batteries, a game board with 24 movable utensils, 18 tokens, one die, and instructions for play.

Overall, the Bugs in The Kitchen Board Game is a hit both among experienced gamers and casual players alike. It provides hours of entertainment for everyone involved and ensures that no two rounds are ever exactly alike. Illustrate the game components Don’t be too focused on one bug type. Use different trap types and layouts to capture multiple types of bugs such as ants, moths and beetles. Setting up at first requires an adult to insert traps and utensils into pegs, and prepare the board for playing. Follow the included instructions for this to get it right. This should take 10 minutes or so.

The first player rolls again to determine how many spaces they can move their piece. For example, if they roll a “2”, they can move any one of their pieces two spaces across the kitchen counter. Players then take turns rolling the die and moving respective pieces around the board. With there basically only being one decision to make in the game it should come as no surprise that Bugs in the Kitchen is really easy to learn and play. The game should only take minutes to teach to new players. While the game has a recommended age of 6+ I think children under six may be able to play the game. They might have some trouble understanding the strategy of the game but I don’t see younger children having trouble understanding how to play the game. Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store.

Try to change its path so it ends up in your trap. As soon as it falls into a trap, the player who owns the trap receives a bug token.
