About the game
What you do in a play session
In Beetle Bank, you’re an insect enthusiast searching for rare specimens to fill your collection book. The game combines strategy and planning, using multi-use cards to perform actions like moving across the board, manipulating pieces, and adding beetles to the shared bank. Each turn requires careful choices: using your best cards right away might not be the best strategy. Sometimes, playing conservatively pays off, waiting for your opponents to reveal the beetles you need to collect. With variable endgame conditions, Beetle Bank ensures every match feels unique. The vibrant illustrations by Charlotte Owen bring the game to life, making it visually appealing and immersive.
