You and your fellow players have just stepped into the exciting world of coleopterology: the study of beetles! Travel around the world, assemble your collection of specimens, and present your findings to museums and magazines to become the most recognized expert in your field! Pins and Beetles is a hybrid set collection and tile placement game. Players collect Beetle cards from eight families and use them to score points, either with Features that depend on the size of their collection, or Exhibits that place tiles in the Museum. Once the Museum is full and no more Exhibits can be played, the game ends and the player with the most points wins! -description from the publisher
