Echidna Shuffle

Bugs hitch rides on adorable echidnas in a race to get home first. Players move echidnas from leaf to leaf, collecting bugs in their color and delivering them to matching stumps. Echidnas block the paths, so players must move them out of the way before reaching their destinations. The first player to deliver all three bugs wins.

Each round you get a fixed number of action points to spend on moving these beautiful creatures around a board. They are arranged in a huge traffic jam formation, and have to follow the directions of the arrows printed in their spaces. You have to walk them along, pick up a bug of your color, then deliver it to your goal space. Players can move any Echidna they like, so you want to be in the way in such a way as other players are forced to help you to further their own goals. If you aren't careful though, someone might walk the Echidna carrying your bug in a direction that will cause him to have to make a huge loop around the board. Very cute, enjoyable kids game, although at times a bit frustrating, and it can run a little long for what the process is. :star: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :nostar: Multiple plays stay interesting :star: Low or mitigatable luck elements :nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar::nostar: Raw enjoyment
