Beetle (game)

The game may be played solely with pen, paper and a die or using a commercial game set, some of which contain custom scorepads and dice and others which contain pieces which snap together to make a beetle/bug.

The game is entirely based on random die rolls, with no skill involved.

It is necessary to roll the correct number for the body before any other part may be drawn.

Then the winner of each particular group (the player with the most complete beetle in that group) will move around a circle of tables to the right (clockwise), and the loser (the player with the least complete beetle) to the left (anti-clockwise), or sit still.

[1][2] These are often accompanied by a "pie and pea" supper, particularly in the North East of England.
