Fundraiser Beetle Drive at St. Luke's Church meeting room

There is a Beetle Drive organised, which promises to be great fun, at St. Luke's Church meeting room in Formby.

All proceeds will go to the Lent Project.

This Friday 11th March 2016, 7:30 start.

Admission £5.00

Beetle is an old family favourite so is suitable for both adults and children to play together.

How to play Beetle

The aim of the game of Beetle is to be the first player to draw a complete beetle. The body parts are each given a number.

• 6 - The Body - (1 per beetle)

• 5 - The Head - (1 per beetle)

• 4 - The Wings - (2 per beetle)

• 3 - The Legs - (6 per beetle)

• 2 - The Antenna - (2 per beetle)

• 1 - The Eyes - (2 per beetle)

Players take turns to roll a die and can add the corresponding body part to their beetle. They must however throw a 6 first for the body before they can add any other part. Players may only add the correct number of body parts to their beetle for instance only 2 wings, a further throw of number 4 resulting in no addition and the dice being passed on. Some player's beetles will be drawn quite rapidly, other players will flounder unable to throw the correct score on the dice to complete their beetle.

The minute one player has completed their picture they shout Beetle and that is the end of that game.
