Rules of the Game

The boys were recently introduced to the Slugbug/Punchbug game by a friend. (Yeah, thanks for that one!)

There has been some confusion as to the rules of the game. I am here to clear this up:

THE RULES OF THE GAME:

1. When you see a slugbug, you may hit ONLY one person in the car. This is NOT a pass to hit each of your brothers.

2. You may only hit that one person ONCE. One punch, one person, per car. Multiple hits = taking advantage of the situation.

3. When you hit your one person, do so LIGHTLY. If anyone screams "OWWW!!!" after your victory, you have hit too hard. I say, aim for something close to a tap (which will likely feel like a medium hit to whomever is on the receiving end.)

4. It is not enough to SEE the VW bug, you must be the first one to CALL it out loud. You may not argue about who was the first to see the car.

5. If you mistakenly call out "Slugbug" but the car turns out to be something else, whomever you hit may hit you (lightly) back. However, if the confused person DID NOT hit, no one may hit them.

6. There is NO such thing as "Slug-truck" or "Slug-speedy car" or even "Slug-fire truck." VW Beetles - that's it.

See, it's all really simple. Just follow the rules, and you can continue with this parent-approved game of attack.
