# Bugspiel - play, help, or complain its your choice.

I’ve been working on a bug based game, intended to be fun to play while  
also being scientifically accurate to a reasonable degree. My inspiration  
is “Wingspan”, if any of you are gamers and know of it. My hope is that  
the game acts as a bridge to introduce bug people to games, and game people  
to bugs. It’s completely free to play, and has to commercial connection  
or advertising.

**to play:** [Bugspiel at Boardspace.net](https://boardspace.net/english/about_bugs.html)

**to help:** the basis for the game is a deck of about 400 “bug cards”  
I’ve curated in partnership with Chatgpt. I’m reasonably scientifically  
literate, but have no special expertise as an Entomologist. The deck  
aspires to be scientifically accurate, but I’m sure there are plenty  
of errors remaining. So if you spot errors, send corrections.

**to complain:** If it’s of general interest, reply here. If you just  
want to flame about something, email to bugspiel at [boardspace.net](http://boardspace.net)
