Book Bugs

Book Bugs is a collectible, deck-building, card game for 2 to 4 players, created by National Library Board, Singapore. Visitors to any of the participating public libraries can collect Book Bugs cards in three ways: 1. Borrow 8 books from the library to redeem 2 normal cards. 2. Complete a library activity to redeem 1 shiny card. 3. Attend a library programmer to redeem 1 shiny card. A player deck is made up of 30 cards. These are put in the player's draw pile. The player's play area also has a discard pile and a playing field. Each player starts with 5 cards in his/her hand. To determine who starts the game, each player draws a card from the top of their draw pile. The player that draws the card with the highest points starts the game. During each turn, the player starts by playing a card on his/her playing field. The effects of the card played takes place immediately and only lasts one turn. Each player must play only 1 card per turn. The player ends his/her turn by drawing a card from his/her draw pile. The first player to achieve a total of 20 points wins the game. Alternatively, the game ends when one player runs out of cards in his/her draw pile. All players will then have to count the total number of points from the cards on his/her playing field. The player with the highest total points wins!
