Snug as a Bug in a Rug Review

We were able to review one of their award winning games, Snug as a Bug in a Rug, and we had so much fun playing it! There are three levels of play:
Level 1 is for ages 3-4
Level 2 is for ages 4-5
Level 3 is for ages 5-6
We played level 1, even though my oldest son is 6. My youngest will be 2 soon and he was actually recognizing some of the colors, so we played level 1 so he could help us out!

The goal of Snug as a Bug in a Rug is to get the colorful little bugs under the rug before the three stink bugs. For level 1, each player takes turns spinning the wheel and they have to match the color spun with one of the bugs on the rug…if they find the correct color bug, they place it under the rug. Once it gets to the point where someone spins a color and there is not a bug matching that color on the rug, a stink bug is placed on the rug! Phew!
From that point, each player spins the wheel and goes by the size of the eyes. Keep playing until all of the bugs are under the rug. If you get to a point where a player spins and the size of eye does not match, place another stink bug on the rug. Keep playing until there are three stink bugs. The person who has to place the 3rd stink bug on the rug loses!
Snug as a Bug in a Rug promotes the following skills for children:

  1. When I was growing up, I always wanted to have a family game night but we never did it. I want to start it with my girls, I’ll definitely have to look for it!
