Bugacula (2019) – A Spooky Family Game of Candles and Garlic

Bugacula is a spooky and exciting family game where courage and quick thinking are key. Players must creep through the haunted castle lighting candles, but there’s a twist—Bugacula, the vampire HEXBUG, is scuttling around trying to blow them out! Can you light all the candles before you run out of garlic, or will Bugacula chase you out of the castle? With its unique moving HEXBUG piece and the thrill of the catapult challenge, Bugacula promises a mix of laughter, suspense, and fast-paced fun.

How to Play

Each player takes turns rolling the dice and moving their piece through the castle rooms. The aim is to light candles by flipping them over as you reach each one, but if Bugacula touches you, you lose a garlic token. Watch out—Bugacula moves unpredictably, scuttling after you at every turn! If you’re lucky enough to get the catapult, you’ll have the chance to launch Bugacula towards the moon for bonus safety. The game ends when either all candles are lit, or the garlic runs out.

Why Rent This Game

Bugacula is a brilliant choice for families who love games with movement, suspense, and just the right amount of silliness. The combination of a motorised Bug and the excitement of launching it across the board makes every round different and full of surprises. It’s easy to learn, quick to play, and keeps players laughing and shouting as they scramble to outwit Bugacula. Perfect for family game nights or parties, it’s a game that blends teamwork, tension, and fun in one spooky package.
