This is the original Insecta board game of the 1995 edition. There are no changes made to rulebooks or components and the printing quality will be as close as possible to the original copy. The only difference is that each facsimile copy will include a numbered certificate of authenticity, signed by the game designer Phil Eklund.
Insecta is a game of bug-to-bug conflict and combat. Players design a mutant bug team and with them attempt to escape from "The Hive," filled with real-world arthropods and controlled by an adversarial "Hivemaster"-player (somewhat akin to a dungeon master). The game comes with mutant bug displays (including higher-level ones swapped in as the bugs mutate), design cards and mapsheet.
