• DESCRIPTION

Every spring, millions of Monarch butterflies leave Mexico to spread across eastern North America. Every fall, millions fly back to Mexico. However, no butterfly makes the round trip.

Butterflies is a movement and set collection game that allows players to be part of this incredible journey.

Butterflies is played over three seasons. Generally, your butterflies try to head north in the spring, disperse in the summer, and return south in the fall. The end of each season brings a scoring round, and at the conclusion of the fall, the player with the most successful butterfly family (i.e., the one with the most victory points) wins the game.
