Before the event

Ideally you want 4 – 6 players at each table. Try to make your tables as even as possible as the less players there are at a table the better chance they have of calling beetle As the game has stopped everyone counts the scores on their own beetle for that round and puts their score into the scoring grid at the bottom of the sheet. The first player from all the tables to draw a complete image shouts ‘BEETLE!’ or ‘SNOWMAN!’ and scores the maximum 14 points for that round. Everyone else counts up how many body parts they have drawn, and scores one point per body part. The person with the highest score per round from each table moves up a table, egif the winner is on table one, they move up to table two. The person with the fewest points in each round moves down a table, egif they are on table six, they move down to table five. If your top table is number 12 make sure they know they move up to table one and table one moves down to table 12. At the end of the beetle drive, the winner is the person who has scored the most points from all the games added together. If there is a tie, the players with the same number of points roll a die – the highest number wins.
