The Oxford English Dictionary lists the game of ' Beetle' as 'A dice game having as its object the drawing or assembly of a beetle-shaped figure'. With the first reference to it being more than 60 years ago, Beetle is plainly a game which has been well tested. Our set is strongly boxed, & consists of 24 two-sided drawing cards (more of course easily made on a photocopier) four pencils & four dice. Can be enjoyed from any age from three upwards, & for any number of players.
