Description
Players in Butterfly use a hedgehog piece around the board to collect tiles. By skillfully moving the piece to the right spots on the board, players can grab rare items while leaving fewer choices for their opponents. The player who accumulates the most valuable collection at the end of the game wins.
This is a game that can be played on several levels. As a game for children or families, the rules are easy to learn, the pieces are attractive and fun, but experienced and older game players can play it as a tactical fight, looking for the right move that will optimize your points while leaving the opponents with few good options.

Quotes (from this video)
- i was warned that while i like games that are a bit more euro, a little bit more heavy, Rio Grande Games had a couple of games in the queue that were neither.
- Butterflies aren't caterpillars with wings.
- This, i guess, is an attempt to make the butterflies more cuddly.
- Box Fart-O-Meter: zilcho.
- It's one slippery sheet, double-sided, that teaches you how to play.
- i think this is a tile laying game.
- Don't worry, kids: nothing in the drawstring bag.
- i could almost teach this game without even reading the instructions, and i bet you could too!
- This, interestingly... the only other thing i think i can manage to say about Butterfly is that weirdly, this is the second board game now in my collection that has hedgehog meeples in it
