Buggy Adventures

A respectful reimagining of the Swedish board game The Lost Diamond, redesigned to remove outdated themes while preserving the fun and strategy of the original. Made in one week.

Instead of a race to steal diamonds, Buggy Adventures is a friendly competition between entomologists exploring Africa to photograph the most butterflies. Players use rolls of film instead of money, and objective cards encourage both strategy and cooperation. By shifting the focus to cataloging rather than taking, and removing colonial undertones, Buggy Adventures creates a more open and respectful experience.|

Features:

🦋 A Fresh Take on the Classic – Keeps the spirit of the original game while removing problematic elements.
📸 Capture, Don’t Take – Players collect butterfly photos instead of extracting resources.
🌍 A More Respectful Setting – No specific country names, just the beauty of Africa as a landmass.
🎞 Film, Not Fortune – Rolls of film replace money, shifting the goal to exploration and discovery.
🤝 Cooperative Strategy – Objective cards encourage both competition and helping other players.

Rediscover the adventure—this time, with respect, curiosity, and a love for nature!
