## Description
In *Dung Beetles*, you and a friend become dung beetles on a gross-yet-strategic mission across the desert. Your goal? Push your dung ball across the map, making it grow as resources stick to it (yes, it’s as disgusting as it sounds). The more you roll, the heavier and more valuable your ball becomes. Use these resources to spread your grubs around the terrain. If placed correctly, they’ll pupate, turn into adult beetles, and — voilà! — victory points. The player with the biggest beetle family wins. The game is quick (just 25 minutes) but packed with decisions: when to stop rolling, where to drop grubs, and how to block your opponent. The modular board ensures every game feels fresh. Get ready to laugh at the absurd premise while playing a clever, light eurogame.
