Setup
Set up the game like the drawing.
Choose either the Salty (green) or Spicy (red) deck. The deck that was not chosen is removed from the game.
The person who was most recently bitten by a mosquito is the starting player.
Turn Order
The turn proceeds clockwise from the starting player.
Playing a Turn
The active player begins by rolling 2 dice into the box. Other players must not see the dice.
Match the red die with the description and the blue die with the creature. Act this out using hand signals and body motions but without speaking.
Other players must try to guess both the creature and the description in real time. If someone guesses the answer, both they and the quiz giver get 1 Point Token each.
Remove the cards that matched the dice roll. Place new cards on the empty spaces. The next player takes a turn.
Game End
In a 5 or 6 player game, the game ends once each player takes 2 turns.
Once each player takes 3 turns, the game ends.
Scoring
All players flip their Point Tokens and count the star marks on them. The player with the most star marks wins.
If there is a tie, they win the game together.
2 Players Rules
For 2 players, this becomes a cooperative game. Both players each have 5 turns, and the number of correct answers are combined. They gain a title according to the number of correct answers.

| 10 | Rock n' Roaches |
| 8-9 | Bodacious Beetles |
| 6-7 | Slick Cicadas |
| 4-5 | Mercurial Mosquitoes |
