Barrel bugs, chatter bugs, rattle bugs, and water bugs hang out at the bug hub. With seven dice, at least four of which have to be rolled, everybody tries to get hold of as many critters as possible; even the dice that have not been rolled are included in the count. And if you like, you may, on your turn, pick the bugs that the previous player has caught. A clever and tactical selection of the dice and a great amount of thrill when it comes to risk assessment are the core elements of Voll verasselt, aparticularly original and suspenseful dice game. —description from the publisher
