In Jewel Box, players will be collecting and placing unique beetles from 5 different beetle families: Jewels, Longhorns, Scarabs, Ladybugs, and Weevils. Within each of the 5 families are 15 unique beetles. Each turn, players will roll the dice and take the corresponding beetle from the log.

Game Play
Roll die. Collect and place the Beetle matching your die roll into a 4x4 grid.
Rolling a 6 allows you to pick any of the 5 available Beetles.
2-Player variant - 5x5 grid.
Tools
Tools are single use.
Magnifying glass - choose any face-up OR face-down Beetle instead of rolling the die.
Forceps - Swap 2 beetles tiles in your Jewel Box. Can be used before or after collecting a Beetle.
Either - Can be used as either Magnifying Glass or Forceps.
Limit to using 1 token per turn.
Each unused token at the end of the game is worth 2 points.
Scoring Guide
| Scarabs | Score individually. A scarab on the edge adjacent to all different family scores 2 points. A scarab in the middle adjacent to all different family scores 3 points. |
|---|---|
| Weevils | Gain points for an unbroken horizontal or vertical line (2 = 3 points, 3 = 6 points, 4 = 10 points).
Each weevil can only be counted once. |
| Longhorns | If total number of longhorns in your grid is a even number, score 2 for each longhorn. If odd number, score 1 for each longhorn. |
| Ladybugs | Score lady bugs which aren't adjacent to another lady bug.
2 = 1 point, 3 = 4 points, 4 = 8 points, 5 = 15 points. |
| Jewels | Scores when in non-adjacent pairs, each worth 5 points. More than 2 adjacent to each other - 0 points for all. |
(Note that in the BGA implementation it seems that all weevils will "try" to be scored: an L-shaped group of 5 weevils will score 9 points (3+2) rather than 10 (4+1).)
