About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a hilarious and somewhat wacky race in Worm Up! Here, each player controls a worm made of colorful discs, and the goal is to get ahead. Each round, everyone secretly chooses on their dice how many discs they want to advance. The catch is that when everyone reveals their move, those who chose the same number as someone else are out of luck and lose their turn! Only the lucky ones who chose a unique number get to move their worms. This movement involves taking discs from the tail and adding them to the head, which can make the worm curve and even try to block rivals' paths. It's a fast-paced game, full of laughs and that enjoyable tension of not knowing what others will do. Perfect for gathering family or friends for a light and fun game, where luck and a touch of strategy mix to see who will be the worm master!
