Watch “How to play Bugs buddy,” a how-to-play guide for Bugs Buddy from HELVETIQ on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by HELVETIQ on YouTube:

Christoph Cantzler, Anja Wrede 2-4 // 20' // 8+ Insects are vital to our ecosystem. That’s why you protect them. Who will protect the most and do it the fastest? Add an insect of your choice to the corresponding species and then protect it with your stones. The twist: The insects are always under different protection... and this sparks a friendly competition among you. Who will you protect first? The ladybugs, ants, or perhaps the praying mantis? Nine different species of insects offer you plenty of strategic options. ▸ Website https://www.helvetiq.com

About Bugs Buddy, from BoardGameGeek:

Insects are vital to our ecosystem, so that's why you want to take credit for putting them into play in Bugs Buddy. Each player starts with a secret hand of four double-sided insect tiles. Nine types of insects are included in the deck, each appearing eight times. On a turn, either add a new insect to the display, then place one of your colored cubes underneath it, or add an insect to the column of matching insect tiles already present, then replace another player's cube(s) underneath this insect with the same number of cubes of your color, plus one. (If you place a bee, for example, in a column that has two bees, you remove the opponent's two cubes, then place three of your own.) To end your turn, draw a tile from the deck. Each insect type will have a single column, and you cannot replace your own cubes when placing a tile. If you don't have enough cubes to play any of your tiles, skip your turn. If you have no more cubes in front of you, you win; if all players pass in turn, whoever has the fewest cubes remaining wins.
