Bug-Game (1951)

This 1951 game by J.W. Drueke is played with a "Bug Box" about 4" x 5", with a clear plastic lid, red sides and a green felt bottom. Inside the box is a single D6 with a different letter on each side: B, H, L, T, E, F. The name of the game appears on the felt along with an outline of a bug that has a round body, round head, two eyes, two feelers, six legs and one tail. Each player has a sheet with 12 small boxes, each good for one game. Players take turns shaking the box, and the letter that appears determines what part of the bug they can draw. They must roll a B in order to begin drawing the bug, and then an H in order to draw the head. After that, they may add whatever piece of the bug corresponds to the letter on the die. First player to complete a bug drawing wins.
