The player to the left of the starting player places the hedgehog on any tile.


Players then take turns. On your turn, you first turn the hedgehog to its left or right, or keep it pointing as is, but may not reverse it. You then must move the hedgehog to any tile which is in a straight line ahead of it, in the direction it is now facing. So no move can ever be in the opposite direction of the previous move.

Tiles are randomly arranged in a grid so that every game is different.

TURN:
 
Players then take turns:
 
~ Move the hedgehog as many spaces as you like to its LEFT, RIGHT OR FORWARD. It may never be moved backward!
 
~ Then take the tile you moved to and immediately receive its points.
 
You can skip over empty spaces to reach a tile.


You can skip over empty spaces to reach the tile. When you land on a tile, you collect it.
If the hedgehog moves over a net, you may press your luck by drawing and scoring a random tile from the bag.  


Some spaces on the board have Butterfly Nets, which are revealed when tiles are collected.  If the hedgehog moves over an exposed butterfly net, the player may immediately choose to draw and score a random tile from the bag.
