Dustlings is a fast-paced, wacky game full of twists and turns.

Each player controlsa chosen faction of creatures living in the Forgotten Corner. The Grublins and Crawlies have one clear goal: to lick the Candy that has rolled into their world, which slips away with every attempt to lick it.

Dustbuster the Soap must remove a certain number of dirt-covered creatures from the Forgotten Corner in order to restore hygiene and cleanliness.

Victor: "Dustlings always kept me engaged during the game and after a while I was sitting there wondering how to get to the Candy."
Kate: "Dustlimgs promises to be a fairly quick tactical game that may be of interest to board gamers who play in pairs and are looking for new challenges."

The key to the game is performing clever movement and placement of creatures on the board, as well as using their special abilities.

Powerful action sequences are triggered by Boost Tiles, which are drawn at the start of each round or whenever a creature eats a sweet candy piece.

As players move across the board, they must avoid Stains left by opponents, choking Stinkies, and other surprises.

Each round in Dustlings is a mini-puzzle, where players try to come up with the optimal move.

Advantage can be gained through clever and creative action combinations, as well as by exploiting opponents' mistakes. The game is very dynamic, so long-term planning isn’t key—players must adapt to the situation on the board and flexibly react to the moves of other players.

Randomness is limited to drawing Boost Tiles and special cards.
