9 bouncing rubber eggs,
1 red action dice,
1 ”where to place the egg“ dice,
1 set of game instructions
Aim of the game
Who will be able to pinch the most eggs and collect lots of
points? It won’t be so easy as the eggs are bouncing boisterously
about and continuously change their owner … and also, as soon
as somebody drops one of their eggs, the game is over.
Preparation
Get both dice ready. Place the box with the 10 eggs on the
table. Keep the center of the table clear as the eggs will be
bouncing about there.
Beware, fragile! Nothing will happen to the bouncing eggs
themselves, but you should clear the table of any other fragile
objects before starting to play.

Hey, what’s the wooden egg doing in the game?
A precious wooden egg has mingled with the
bouncing eggs! It will score two points at the end,
while the bouncing eggs only score one point:
therefore it’s very popular with egg thieves.
How to play
Whoever jumps highest may start and throw the red action dice.
What symbol appears on the red action dice?
Laying an Egg
You’ve got lots of hen luck. Shout: “cluck, cluck,
cluuck!“ and take an egg from the box.
Egg bouncing
Take a rubber egg from the box. Hold it about
half a meter above the center of the table and
let it drop. The other players try to catch the
egg. Whoever catches it first, keeps it.
Watch out: The wooden egg can’t be used for
this!
Egg pinching
All players try to catch the red dice as quickly
as possible.
Whoever catches it, may take an egg from
the box.

The egg dance
Now things start to move! Everybody stands up
and runs around the table as quickly as they can.
The player who gets back to their place first gets
the egg from the box.
The big shout
It’s time to wake up the neighbours! Whoever
shouts first ”cock-a-doodle-doo!“ takes an egg
from the box. If various players are equally quick,
no one gets an egg.
The big hush
Look closely: this symbol looks very like the
“big shouting “, but not a single sound may be
emitted. Whoever shouts here “cock-a-doodle-
doo“, has to return one of their eggs to the box,
only, of course, if they have already got one.
Watch out, egg stealing!
If during the game no further eggs can be taken from
the box, thanks to the ”egg stealing“ this and any
other action can nevertheless be carried out.
You announce from which of the players you want
an egg and take it. This player has to give it to you,
without grumbling. If the player you choose has various
eggs then you can decide which one they should give
you.

Where to place the egg?
The eggs collected are not simply placed in front of oneself on
the table. Whenever you get an egg you roll the dice which
determines “where to place the egg“.
The symbol shows where one has to position the egg:
... underneath ... under one ... between
the chin of the armpits the knees
... inside ... between shoulder
one’s elbow and cheek
Whoever rolls this symbol can
choose one of the options where
to put the egg.

Important:
• Do you already have an egg in the spot shown on the
dice?
The player can choose for themselves if they want to
jam the second egg in the same or another location.
• It is not allowed to stick an egg underneath clothing
or use any other means.
End of the game
The game ends as soon as one of the players lets one or
more of their positioned eggs drop.
The other players score one point for each of their eggs.
The wooden egg scores two points.
Whoever scores the most points, wins the egg battle.
Wild dice rolling!
This game involves a lot of dice rolling and requires
quick reactions. Nevertheless you have to be careful!
Whoever lets the dice drop or pushes it from the table
has to pick it up by themselves and without help.
Try it:
it really is not so easy to stoop to pick up a dice with
an egg jammed between your knees or underneath
your chin …
