Sanity Test for Dung Beetle Dash! - The Card Game

Good. You could consider adding a table of contents since it's a pretty long rulebook. As mentioned later, having a more explicit end game section would also be good.

Fine.

Excellent. One question.. Why should we thank them?

Between the intro and The Goal, there is an adequate overview.

Stickers are mentioned on the shop page but not in the component list.

Not needed.

(Note that Setup is more correct for this section than Set-up.)

2: Shuffle, deal, then put them next to the dung pile. (It's hard to deal when the pile is on the table already.)

"Keep Power Cards hidden from view": This sentence could be interpreted in different ways. I think you mean players can look at their cards but should keep them private.

Token Stickers: The "Flip" having the bug on it looks weird, especially on the dung tokens. I'd just label the images Front and Back.

Steps 2 and 3 are not really different steps of a standard turn; they are optional paths depending on the situation. I would label these 2A and 2B.

Step 1: "If you play your Power Card, you can draw a new one from the pile to replace it immediately or when your turn ends": Decide which it will be and make that the rule. It probably makes sense to do it at the end since that step is to ensure you have 2 cards.

Step 2: "To get to the Pile and reveal a Dung Ball Token, reveal one card on your turn until you get a total of 3 or more distance points.": This sentence is confusing. You've already given the instruction to reveal a card. Don't restate it. Something like "If the total of your revealed cards is 3 or more, you've reached the dung pile" would be better.

Step 3: Ditto. Also, it was a little confusing that rollin'/stashing are named as two things but only take one set of cards to complete. (At first I thought you need to roll back to the burrow and then flip more cards to stash.)

Step 4: As part of the last step, I would add to check for a win. I assume that the game ends immediately if you get to 5 or more points.

Beetle Battle: "Battling can be done only if you are DASHIN'": Battles can only be initiated when you are dashin'. The target can be rollin'.

Step 1-3: All of this seems extra verbose. The Beetle Battle is just a power card, so it follows the standard rules, (play one per turn, play it and discard it.)

"The beetle that lands on it’s feet wins the round. “Best 2 of 3” rounds wins.": This description isn't adequate. What if both land on their feet on the first round? Is that considered a win for both so the second flip determines the winner? It seems like there are going to be a lot of ties.

If you are battled against: Loser: "If you were battled against and lose, you lose ALL your Dung Balls to the other player’s Burrow": Surely you only mean the ones you were rolling, not the ones you already had stashed?

Champ o the Heap: "The “Champ o the Heap” Power Card is different from the “Tractor Beetle” card." Why does this need to be said?

Multi-Beetle: So this lets you break the rule of one power card per turn but you still can't do two battles? Can you do a Beetle Battle and Champ o' the Heap?

Images aren't really needed, but the ones that are there add some color and fun.

The should be an End Game section. At minimum you need to address the question of whether the game ends immediately. (If it does, it seems like there is a big first player advantage.)

Most of the questions above are fairly minor.

"It's" means "it is." The possessive is "its." Think of his, hers, theirs, all with no apostrophe. Its is the same.

Good.

Excellent image. Good text.

I'd check it on a small screen like a phone and iPad to make sure it looks ok.

Fine.

I'll reiterate that you should have a picture of the game in play.

Tells about gameplay in a fun and engaging way.

The sound quality of the voiceover could be better. As mentioned, the video is a little slow. The pile setup has changed.
