Caterpillars eat, grow and move

Caterpillars Flori and his friends do what caterpillars do, they eat! In this game they eat to get longer and more colorful. Each player begins the game with a caterpillar consisting of one caterpillar head and three caterpillar body parts in different colors, there are six different colors to choose from. Those initial caterpillars are set out behind an imaginary starting line and in front of each caterpillar you set out three more body parts in regular distances, leaf side up, to represent food. The bigger the distances the longer the game takes, the rules recommend to use the game box to measure distances.

You roll three color dice and may re-roll twice to roll colors of your own caterpillar, you try especially to roll the color of the hindmost part of your caterpillar. If you managed to roll this part, you may insert it behind the head by moving the head forward and placing the part behind it, which results in a forward movement of the caterpillar. If you also did roll the color of the now hindmost part, you can move this one forward, too, and so on, one part per die! Then other players can use your dice colors and advance their caterpillar. If you roll a triple of the same color you may put forward the two hindmost parts of your caterpillar, regardless of colors. If you were not able to move, other players cannot use your colors. If you reach a leaf, you eat it – you pick it up, complete your move and then insert the part behind the head. Whoever eats his last leaf piece first, wins.

Simple, simply nice and easy, for small children the movement of the caterpillar is rather thrilling. Lots of of fun with small means!
