If the die shows a question mark,

Let the game begin
1. Start the HEXBUG® nano®
The youngest player starts. Turn on the the HEXBUG® nano® by flipping the
switch found underneath the device and place it in the middle of the game board.
2. Roll the die
3. Turning utensils
4. Trap the HEXBUG® nano®
The HEXBUG® nano® will crawl all across the
game board. You can direct its path and lure it
into the trap by strategically turning utensils.
Try to change its path so it ends up in your
trap. As soon as it falls into a trap, the
player who owns the trap receives a
bug token.
Turn off the HEXBUG® nano®
momentarily and set all the utensils back to form one of the starting positions.
The player who won the last bug token begins the next round.
End of game
The game is over as soon as someone has collected five bug tokens.
Tips for playing with the HEXBUG® nano®:
• Don’t get it jammed when turning utensils.
• Help it back on its feet if it turns over.
• Nudge it if it gets stuck in a corner.
Always turn the utensils so that they lock into
place. The utensils should not be left at an angle.
If a player takes too long, the other players can tell
them to hurry up.
Play continues in a clockwise direction. The next
player rolls the die and turns the corresponding
utensil.
