Game play
The game is played with a die (Cootie cube), game board, and Cootie bug parts. The purpose of the game is to build a complete Cootie. To collect parts, players roll the Cootie Cube (die). Each number on the die has a corresponding Cootie bug part.
Players must start with the Cootie body first. In order to obtain the body, players must roll a 1. After rolling for the Cootie body, you need to collect the Cootie head next by rolling a 2. Once players have the body and the head, they can roll for all other body parts in any order. Each time you collect a Cootie part, you roll again. Once you roll for a part you have already collected, your turn is over. Players keep rolling to collect parts, the first person to build a complete Cootie wins.
