Read the full game description

Echidnas pick up bugs and deliver them to their home stumps in the family-friendly game Echidna Shuffle. In more detail, players move the twelve echidnas from leaf to leaf, picking up bugs in their color from their pick-up leaf, and moving them to the three matching-colored stumps. But the forest floor is a traffic jam of echidnas that have to be moved out of the way before you can get there. The first player to deliver all three bugs wins. —description from the publisher
