Colourful Caterpillars (1986) – A Bright and Cheeky Family Game Full of Colour, Strategy and Fun

Get ready for a bright and cheerful challenge with Colourful Caterpillars, a playful game that’s full of colour, strategy, and a little bit of luck. First released in 1986, this charming game is all about being the quickest to find the right spot for your caterpillars on the board. It's a simple idea, but it gets tricky when you add in the cheeky bogeybugs! Perfect for kids and families, this game promises laughter and light-hearted competition every time it comes out.

How to Play

Each player starts with a pile of colourful caterpillars. On your turn, you pick one and try to place it onto the board so the colours line up perfectly with the colours underneath. Sounds easy, right? Not always – especially when the board starts filling up and those naughty bogeybugs get in the way! If you can't place your caterpillar, you’ll have to swap it out, giving someone else the chance to race ahead. The winner is the first player to successfully place all of their caterpillars onto the board. There’s an easier side and a harder side of the board too, making it easy to adapt for different ages and skill levels.

Why Rent Colourful Caterpillars

If you're looking for a light, colourful game that's easy to learn but still offers a fun challenge, Colourful Caterpillars is a brilliant choice. It’s ideal for younger players but just as fun for adults who fancy a more laid-back game night. Renting it means you can enjoy all the colour and chaos without the full commitment, and it's perfect for family gatherings, rainy afternoons, or even as a playful warm-up before a longer game session. Give this retro gem a try and see who can wiggle their way to victory first!
