Description
ABOUT THE GAME: Tapeworm is a competitive game where players aim to construct tapeworms and deplete their hands of tiles, represented by cards.
STARTING THE GAME: Gameplay initiates with the placement of a starting tile, composed of various tapeworm segments. The player who most closely resembles a worm begins. On each turn, players draw and place matching tiles until they lay down a head segment, completing the tapeworm.

Cut, to remove a worm segment in play;
Peek, to draw and then swap a card with one from a hand;
Hatch, to compel an opponent to draw from the deck;
Swap, to exchange cards after viewing an opponent's hand;

We got this game as a bonus gift at GenCon last year. It is so much fun and easy to play. Great for all ages. My college age kids love it and they can play it with younger cousins which is nice during the holidays.
