In the center of the table, six worms grin from seven earth holes. The only empty earth hole is where the worm that is chosen for the current turn slips in to pick a colored flower. At this moment, its previously hidden color becomes visible. If the color of the flower matches the color of the selected worm, the player receives the flower and can attempt to let the matching worm wander into the now vacant earth hole for the next flower color. Memory skills, color matching, and spatial understanding for "wandering worms" are appropriately fostered and challenged by "Here Comes the Worm." In a handy small format, the game is ideal for travel and as a gift for children's birthdays. The game is created by Reiner Knizia and is lovingly illustrated by Doris Matthäus.
