Regenwormen

Regenwormen

This is the Dutch-language edition. In Regenwormen, two to seven players aged 8 and up try to grab grilled worms for their chickens, so the birds do not go hungry. Of course, anyone who fails to take a worm off the grill can help themselves to one from an opponent. This fast game by Reiner Knizia is a push-your-luck game in the best chicken tradition.

On your turn you roll eight dice and set aside all the dice showing one particular value. You roll the rest again, and each time you set aside another value you did not have yet. You can stop and use your total to take a tile, or keep going and take more risk. If you push too far and can no longer set aside a new value or take a tile, you go 'bust' and put your top tile back on the grill. On top of that, the highest tile on the grill is turned face down.
