How to Play I Need a New Butt! The Game
You will begin each of your turns in I Need a New Butt! The Game pressing down on the Butt Popper. This will roll the two dice insider the popper.
First look at the action die (the die with symbols). Depending on what symbol is face up, you will take a specific action.
After you have taken the action corresponding to the symbol you rolled, you will move to a space based on the color your rolled.
Action Die
The action you take depends on what symbol you roll on the action die.
Should you roll the symbol with two arrows pointing in opposite directions, you will choose which direction you want to move. You will then look at the color die. You will move to the next space in the direction that you chose that matches the color you rolled. See below for details on moving.
When you roll the symbol with arrows pointing in a circle, you will choose two tiles from the gameboard. You will swap the position of the two tiles you chose. After you swap the tiles, you will move clockwise to the space matching the color you rolled.
If you roll the symbol showing a face, you can pick one of the tiles on the gameboard. You will look at the other side of the tile. If the tile matches one of the New Butt! cards that aren’t being used by one of the players, place it on the corresponding card. Otherwise return it face down (unique side not visible) to the space that you took it from. You will then move clockwise to the color you rolled.
Color Die
After you complete the action you rolled, you will move your pawn. You will look for the next space in a clockwise direction from your current position that is the color you rolled. If you rolled the symbol letting you pick which direction you want to move, you can move either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The space you move to needs to have a tile on it and no other players can be on the space. If the space has a tile on it and it is unoccupied, you will move your playing piece to the space.
Should the next space not have a tile or it is occupied by another player, you will move onto the next clockwise space that matches the color you rolled. You will continue this until you find a space that you can move to. Should all of the spaces of the color you rolled by occupied by another player or don’t have a tile, your die roll becomes wild. You can pick any of the colors. You will then move clockwise to the next space matching the color you chose that has a tile and is unoccupied.
Looking For a Match
After you move onto a space, flip over the tile on your new space. Compare the tile you flipped over to your New Butt! Cards. If it should match one of your cards, you will place the tile on your Butt Holder Card.
If it doesn’t match one of your cards, check to see if it matches one of the New Butt! Cards that were set aside at the beginning of the game. Should it match one of these cards, place it on top of the corresponding card.
If it doesn’t match one of your cards or one of the cards set aside, place it back on the space that you took it from. You should place it so the unique side is not visible.
Making a New Butt
As you move around the gameboard you will collect different tiles. When you collect both tiles that match one of your New Butt! Cards, you have completed that butt. Remove the tiles from your Butt Holder Card and set them aside.
The game continues with you trying to complete the rest of your New Butt! Cards.
