Zicke & Zacke

Ran an die Federn

 

Chickens Zicke and Zacke are rarely of the same opinion, if one goes left, the other one is sure to go right. Even in the big Chicken Rallye those two are racing in opposite directions. But on the circular track they nonetheless meet from time to time. And then feathers are flying!

A track is laid out with the egg-shaped tiles, face-up and showing animal and plants like a swallow, a clover leaf or a groundhog. In the middle of the circle you place octagonal tiles, face-down, for the chicken coop, they show the same images as the egg tiles. More than two players form two teams, for a third player the team is assigned randomly. Zicke and Zacke start the race back to back on a random egg tile. The pink worm is placed four eggs ahead of Zicke, the pink chicken, and the green worm four spots ahead of Zacke, the green one. Those worms mark the spots that Zicke and Zacke want to race to next. Teams - and players within teams - alternate turns and try to uncover the image in the chicken coop that is identical to the one on which the team worm is sitting. If you fail, the turn passes to the other team. If you succeed, your chicken races ahead to the worm and the worm flees forward as many eggs as there are still feathers in front of you. Team members can confer on the tile to choose. If your chicken jumps over the other one, you put a feather from stock on the chicken. If you chicken is first to carry all feathers, your team wins.

Zicke, Zacke, surely no chicken dreck, but a very sweet and cute move and memo game within the Chicken universe of Zicke Zacke, simple, cheerful, with enchanting drawings, providing a well-made memo variant.
