Product Description 
Setup.
Shuffle the deck and deal cards facedown to all players as evenly as possible. Leave room in the center of the table for a play area which will eventually contain a row of 4 card stacks.
Flip cards into the play area.
Take turns flipping cards into the play area to form 4 card stacks. If one of the 4 spaces is empty, you must place your card there. Otherwise, you can place your card on top of any of the 4 center card stacks.
Slap (or touch) the right cards to earn points.
When the total bug count (0-4 bugs appear on each card) matches one of the numbers on a card, be the first to slap (or touch) that card. In this example the total bug count is 10, so slap the card with the number 10!
Stay alert!
Remove the card and place it in a personal scoring pile—but stay alert! When a card is removed, the total bug count changes, and there may be another opportunity to slap. The game ends when all draw piles are empty, and the player with the most cards wins!
Help kids develop strategic thinking, quick estimation, and sharp reflex skills.
Compact size for easy travel.
Never a dull moment! Every card (flipped or removed) presents a new chance to slap and score points.

Title: Truly Wonderful
Review: This game has been a hit! Literally. The 3 and 5 year old enjoy counting and we take it slow for them and take turns smacking. Played this with a grandma and two 19 year olds and they also had a blast, smacking and adding and playing with probablities.The versatility is astounding. You can use it to reach number recognition and equivalency. You can use it for counting. For addition. Subtraction. Sequence. Probability. There’s enough strategy that you feel good about winning, but enough chance that each game feels fresh and different.The cards are standard thickness with a paper box. They fit snugly into it like a regular deck of playing cards- no shaking. That snugness makes it feel more secure and compact, but it also makes it harder for littles to put away, and some cards have been bent as they try to shove them in. Thankfully they bend back well (again, like regular playing cards).It seems hard to explain, but the moment you see it and start playing everyone can pick it up quickly- from the toddler, the grandma, the half listening teenager.This has become one of our go tos for homeschool math games and it’s just great for small spaces and travel. I cannot recommend this tiny but mighty game enough! I just really want an expansion pack or sequel, with a different number range or even in a different theme.

Title: Great for littles
Review: This is a fast paced game that is great for little kids. It’s a fast paced matching game. The cards have numbers and pictures of multiple bugs. The number of bugs does not match the written number.The idea is to grab matches where the number of bugs match a card with a number.It’s a simple game but quite fun and fast paced.The art work is fun as well especially if your kids love insects.

Title: Super easy to play! Lots of fun. Makes for an energetic and loud fun game!
Review: With a bunch of adults playing, this turns loud and fun as people accidentally slap the wrong one, and rush to slap the correct card!Easy to play, as its a game of speed more than skill, and the mind trick to count the bugs and ignore the number on the card at first.Great for all ages and level of play!

Title: Quick little game
Review: Played this with my 12 yr old grandson and of course beat me! Pack comes with instructions and there is a video you can check out. However, the game got boring a little too fast with my grandson–back to his computer games. I think it’s a good game for younger kids learning to add numbers and think quickly.

Title: Fast-Paced, Educational Fun for Kids and Adults
Review: This game is a hit! Bug Bash is quick, exciting, and a perfect blend of fun and learning. My kids love the challenge of counting and slapping the correct cards as fast as they can. It really sharpens their reflexes and math skills while keeping them engaged. It’s a game that adults can enjoy too — there’s definitely a competitive edge when everyone joins in! The cards are sturdy and durable, and the compact size makes it easy to take on trips or family outings. If you’re looking for a fun way to sneak in some educational playtime, this is a great choice.

Title: SOOO very fun!
Review: My husband and I take turns taking our kids out for a 1:1 breakfast each weekend for some quality time. We bring card games to play at the restaurant table and I will say this game has been a huge hit for my daughters and I. It looks like it would be easy from the description; I was leery of playing it with my 11yo girl who I thought would find this too easy. But she has found it quite challenging – especially against a competitive parent. I would highly recommend this game!

Title: This is FUN!
Review: What a fun game to learn math! I have kids that homeschool, and plan on giving them this game. Learning math in a game is so much more fun than using worksheets or books! Get ready for some fun slapping! 🙂

Title: Math practice disguised as a game!
Review: This card set is math practice disguised as a game!It’s super cute and was really fun for family game night but will be a great boredom buster thrown in my purse for times we’re stuck in the car or a rainy day inside.It was easy for kids and adults at our table to catch on and have fun, and you can set your own pace depending on skill level. It’s a quality set that helps little ones practice math, but it’s fun for adults too and helps keep you on your toes!
