Chuck-It Chicken! (2006)

About this game

Chaos in the chicken house. The rooster crept into the barn, onto some bales of straw, and throws eggs on the chickens. The players try to move their chickens up a three-dimensional pile of straw (by rolling the dice). They try to hide behind obstacles, like a bucket or a barrel. Each player has several chickens; which one to move depends on the roll. When the rooster symbol is rolled, the player may use the rooster on the top edge of the pile and throw (roll) an egg down, trying to knock the chickens of the other players down the pile. Goal is to reach the top with a chicken. Re-implemented by: Mini Chuck-it Chicken!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
