Description
Howard woke up to a problem thats itchy! Catch those bouncing bugs and do it quickly! Be the first player to catch all the same colour bugs, and shout BED BUGS!, then turn off the bed. All players must then put down their tongs and check if the player that shouted BED BUGS!? has won! If a player turns off the bed, but has another players colour of bug in their pile, that players win doesnt count and the other players get to keep playing until theres a winner!
Howard woke up to an itch. Help me resolve it by removing these pesky bugs as soon as possible. This is Bed Bugs by Hasbro!
How it Plays
Press the button and grab those jumping bed bugs from the moving bed using the tong provided. The first player to catch all of one colour is the winner, shouting “Bed bugs”. The bed is turned off and the players count and check if they have won. If you have a different colour bed bug, that player is out and play resumes until a victor emerges.
The unpredictable movement of the bugs add to the tension and provides a laugh-a-second (even if nervous!) to outwit those pesky bed bugs. I’ve heard if you wobble a mug of full tea that helps, maybe wobbling your hands with the pinchers is the trick?
What you can do
Slow hands win the race in Bed Bugs. You each are provided with the tongs and, in real-time, you race to grab as many bed bugs as you can. But they are moving! Be careful, potentially snipe someone else’s (house rule!) and be the first to rid the bed of bugs for the best night’s sleep in ages!
Components
The pieces in the Bed Bugs game are sturdy and I have never had a fault. I recommend taking the batteries out between use. I wouldn’t want to step on one in the night!
Final Thoughts on Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs is fun and memorable, focused game which has (nervous) laughs throughout. It’s a replayable game, but it can feel a little samey after a while. Bed Bugs is highly interactive (if you wish) as everyone is chasing the same colour, with decent fun looking components and an engaging spectacle as you look to see who you can dethrone.
Zatu Score
You might like
- Engaging, fast speed and the way it makes you constantly vibrate as you try to mirror their movement.
- The fact you can keep an eye, perhaps seeing someone took two colours and this you can pace yourself slightly.
- Dexterity game.
Might not like
- The skill is in the dexterity and might not appeal to those with large IQs.
- The player interaction - if you don't like the stealing aspect.
- Relying on batteries.
