Game idea
I
n this craz
y
competition each pla
y
er tries to be the
fi
rst to
catc
h h
e
n wi
t
h hi
s
f
o
x.
A
player rolls, one by one, the four fox dice. After each throw
h
e has to decide i
f
he wants to move his own
f
ox or the
f
ox o
f
a
not
h
er p
l
a
y
er as man
y
squares as
d
ots on t
h
e
d
ice.
B
ut beware! Each fox can onl
y
be moved once durin
g
one’s
t
urn. Therefore you have to think twice about which fox you
a
re
g
oin
g
to move or i
f
it is risk
y
to wait in the hope o
f
a hi
g
h
-
e
r score, to move
y
our own fox. The
g
ame ends as soon as a
f
ox catches up to the hen, thus winnin
g
the
g
ame.
I
t also ends if a fox is too slow and is caught by the hen. In
t
his case all the players lose and the hen cackles with triumph.
Preparation
Place the game board in the center of the table.
Each player gets a
f
ox and the corresponding
f
ox card.
Important:
If
you are two players each player takes two
f
oxes and
t
he two correspondin
g
fox cards.
Place the fox card in front of you and the foxes on their star-
t
ing square on the game board. Place the hen on its starting
s
quare on the
g
ame board
.
