Notes:
Best played in an area with tall grass, bushes, and trees rather than a mowed yard. Be sure it's ok to trample the area.
Instructions:
Last night, the tribbles invaded. They are all over the place and will continue to replicate unless we capture them all. We especially need to find and capture the King Tribble.
In patrols, or pairs, scouts hunt for tribbles. The patrol that collects the most by the end of play time, wins.
An extra reward for whoever brings in the King Tribble.
