About the Game

Every player plays a dung beetle. They must collect elephant dung from the playing area and bring it to their home. The elephant and the beetle are moved by a special die. If the elephant steps on a beetle (by moving onto the same space), the bug must lose his collected dung and flee to his home. The first beetle that collects a specified number of elephant dung wins the game.

In the Box (Tube): 1 wooden elephant token. 6 wooden dung beetle in 6 colors. 25 wooden elephant dung token. 1 special die W6 (3,4,5,6, and 2x elephant movement and dung placement) Board (imitation leather) Rules
