A Bandersnatch is a 3D figure with feet, a body, a tail and a nose. To win the players are trying to build Bandersnatch in rounds as in Cootie. But there are a couple of twists to the simpler game of Cootie.
To win a chance on getting a body part the player must win a spinner. The catch is that there is one less spinner than there are players. So in each round one player won't get a chance to obtain a Bandersnatch part.
The players all grab for a spinner when any player builds a hand of 4 cards of the same color. So there is an action/dexterity element to the game too.
Play begins with dealing 4 cards to each player. On a signal of go from the dealer all players look at their cards. If no one has four of a kind then each player passes card card face down to player on left. Again on go player pick up card and dtermine if they have four of a kind.
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Puzzle — Player begins with an empty 3x3 grid of cards and on each turn exchanges one card from hand with one from the table adding gems to that card if the number is higher or removing gems from an adjacent card if the number is lower. When a card is surrounded by other gem containing cards it is removed.
