Description

Echidnas pick up bugs and deliver them to their home stumps in the family-friendly game Echidna Shuffle.

In more detail, players move the twelve echidnas from leaf to leaf, picking up bugs in their color from their pick-up leaf, and moving them to the three matching-colored stumps. But the forest floor is a traffic jam of echidnas that have to be moved out of the way before you can get there. The first player to deliver all three bugs wins.
