Players in Butterfly use a hedgehog piece around the board to collect tiles. By skillfully moving the piece to the right spots on the board, players can grab rare items while leaving fewer choices for their opponents. The player who accumulates the most valuable collection at the end of the game wins. This is a game that can be played on several levels. As a game for children or families, the rules are easy to learn, the pieces are attractive and fun, but experienced and older game players can play it as a tactical fight, looking for the right move that will optimize your points while leaving the opponents with few good options.
