Games Like Bugging Out

[ONLINE CO-OP FOR 2-4 PLAYERS]

Get your friends together and head into the woods after insects.

Look for butterflies, beetles and whatever else lives in the thicket, sneak up on them with a net and build your collection. Common ones are no trouble. Rare and skittish ones will not go down alone: while one of you distracts it, someone else has to be standing where it bolts to.

[b]Your whole haul rides in one cart. And the jars inside are alive.[/b]

The more you catch, the heavier it gets. Take a bad line, run into trouble, and some of the jars leap out and scatter.

While you chase down a runaway jar, that rare insect you were just crawling through the grass after calmly flies off. It will not let you get close a second time.

There are checkpoints along the road. Whatever you hand in is yours.

After that the team decides all over again. Stop and lock it in now. Or push on a little further and keep catching, while the cart is full and hauls heavy.
