About the game

What you do in a play session

Micro Mutants: Evolution is a souped-up version of the classic X-Bugs, keeping the dexterity game essence with plastic insects you flick across the board. Each player commands an army of bugs with unique abilities, using dice to determine which units to move and how to attack enemy bases. Victory comes when you manage to land your bugs on opponents or their territories. The game includes special terrains, evolution cards, and even a playmat to keep everything organized. It's a fun mess that mixes light strategy with plenty of manual action – perfect for families or groups who enjoy noisy competition. Games wrap up in about thirty minutes, with replayability coming from random combinations of abilities and terrains.
