About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey board game fans! Ever imagined drawing a tree and feeding a baby moth? In Scribbly Gum: Print at Home Edition, that's the vibe! Inspired by Australian scribbly gum trees that get their unique scribbles from moth larvae, this game invites you to draw lines on a tree diagram to collect food. Each player gets their own tree and, each turn, rolls dice to decide which path to take and what kind of food their moth will find. The goal is to gather sets of food to score points. Whoever is cleverest at scribbling and collecting the most valuable food wins!
Genius designer Phil Walker-Harding reimagined Scribbly Gum to be super accessible. All you need are two standard six-sided dice and a printable game sheet for each player. It's perfect for those who want a quick experience (20 minutes!) that can involve everyone, from 1 to 99 players! The mechanics are a charming mix of Bingo, Dice Rolling, and Paper-and-Pencil, all in a light and fun package. Ideal for families, kids, and even newcomers to the board game world. It's the kind of game you download, print, and start playing right away, no fuss. A great option to relax and have fun with a unique and original theme.
