Beschreibung
Worm & Cozy is a medium-weight strategic spatial roll-and-write game offering meatier puzzles than most roll-and-writes, but sharing their simple materials, solo playability, and streamlined rules.
Use the roll of the dice cleverly to fit worms onto your board, give them body parts, and have those body parts act. You can use any one of thirteen different game sheets for each game; each tells a different chapter from the history of the worms, and has a few unique ways to score. There’s one way to lose points on any sheet: leaving worms touching blank space. So fit your worms together cozily!
At first you need only read 3 pages of rules, and then play Chapter 1, in which the eye is the only organ that has an action: to find food.
Play at your own pace through the chapters. Each of the first 6 chapters introduces the power of one more of the six organ types: With a mouth, a worm can eat food to grow more organs. With a brain it can get some control of the colony’s fate by changing die rolls. With a heart, a worm can grow longer. With a pointy tail it can team up into a “Conga Line”. And with “collars”, two worms – who love each other very much! – can make short baby worms.
