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\n","brand":"VR Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39796902920342,"sku":"680660989893","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/9238\/4662\/files\/01ff0b00d7bce40c93cde8732875d92d3d5add72png.png?v=1755141215","url":"https:\/\/popstop.co.nz\/products\/tapeworm","provider":"Pop Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
