{"product_id":"tapeworm","title":"Tapeworm","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom designer Edmund McMillen, Tapeworm is a game in which players compete to build tapeworms and empty their hands of tiles, in the form of cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game begins with the laying down of the starting tile, which depicts the kinds of tapeworms stitched together. The first turn is either determined by who resembles a worm the most or at random. A player's turn includes the drawing and laying down of matching tiles, which continues until a matching head segment is laid down, thereby completing the tapeworm. Whichever player ends up with an empty hand wins the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are special mechanics to propel a player forward, as well as cards intended to hinder the efforts of their opponents. These cards include: Cut, to sever a worm segment at play; Peek, to draw a card and replace it with another card from a hand; Hatch, to force an opponent to draw from the deck; Swap, to look at an opponent's hand and decide if cards should be traded; Dig, to draw a card from the deck and discard one from a hand. If a player creates a fully-connected ring of cards, it is identified as a Ringworm, resulting in the discarding of two cards from a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VR Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40395337302080,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/4029\/0630\/files\/tapeworm-83228_6b1bb.jpg?v=1726655997","url":"https:\/\/www.generalgames.com.au\/products\/tapeworm","provider":"General Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
