Butterfly is simple tile set collection game by Rio Grande. You take the hedgehog from tile to tile scoring points for the tiles you collect.

Gameplay

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.

You can skip over empty spaces to reach the tile. When you land on a tile, you collect it.

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.
