Description

Tante Tarantel is a delightfully chaotic game where you'll navigate your insects through a spiral web, trying to escape the clutches of Auntie Tarantula. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this 1991 game designed by Frank Nestel is perfect for 3 to 5 players looking for a fun, 30-minute experience. As you roll the die to move Auntie, you'll take turns moving one of your bugs towards the exit space, but beware - if Auntie catches up to them, they'll be sent back to her larder. As the game progresses, the excitement builds, and Auntie's mood changes. Once a bug escapes, she loses her temper and becomes a formidable foe, killing any insect she catches. The scoring track adds an extra layer of tension, as each caught or escaped bug increases the die roll, making Auntie move faster and faster around the web. With the ability to share some spaces, players will often find themselves bumping each other back and forth, and those nasty bugs might just push others into Auntie's deadly path. With its unique blend of point-to-point movement and roll-and-move mechanics, Tante Tarantel is a thrilling children's game that's sure to bring laughter and excitement to the table.
