4 caterpillar heads, 24 body parts in 6 colors, 1 color die, 1 game instructions

Game Preparation

Every player picks a caterpillar head and one body part of each color. Extra body parts stay in the box. Then they put the body parts in the middle of the table and they each put their caterpillar head in front of themselves. Have the color die ready.

How to Play

Play in a clockwise direction. Whoever last saw a caterpillar gets to begin the game and roll.

What's on the die?

  • A color that is not yet on the player's own caterpillar. Super! Take a body part of this color from the middle of the table and add it to your caterpillar.
  • A color that is already on the player's own caterpillar. Too bad, you cannot have two of the same color on your caterpillar. So, unfortunately, you can't add a body part.

Now it is the next player's turn to roll the die.

End of Game

The game ends once a player adds the sixth, and the last, body part to the player's own caterpillar. He wins the caterpillar dice.

Variants

Follow the basic rules, but with the following changes:

  • At the beginning of the game, place the body parts in the middle of the table, cover them and mix them up well.
  • Now if you roll a color that is not yet on your caterpillar, you have to try to find the right color body part before you can add it. In addition, you have just one try to get the color. If the color you pick out from under the cover is not the same as the color on the die, you have to put it back, and then it is the next player's turn.
  • If you roll a color that is already on your caterpillar, you are not allowed to pick out a body part.
