Fuchs Alarm!

Chicken thief drops trousers

With the coming of nightfall, the fox is creeping around the hen coop and tries to steal the sleeping chickens and to put them into his trouser pockets. Fortunately, for the chickens, he is too greedy and, at some point, the trousers get too heavy and slide off his hips.

The fox is set up with his trousers pulled up to his hips, the rotund chickens are heaped up next to him, and each player receives one hen coop.

The active player rolls a die and puts the corresponding number of chickens into the trouser pockets of the fox, the player can choose which pocket or pockets he wants to use. When the requisite number of hens is placed, the active player presses down the head of the fox once, you need to hear a clear “click”. When nothing happens, the next player becomes the active player and rolls the die to determine the number of chickens the fox will steal.

When, however, the trousers drop, all players need to save the chickens as fast as they can. All collect - using one hand only - chicken for chicken, one after the other, and place them onto their personal hen coop card. When nobody can fill the coop completely, you play another round. Whoever manages first to collect five chickens in his coop, calls „Fuchs-Alarm“ and wins the game.

A familiar game mechanism - a random generator triggers an action with consequences - is implemented here in a fun action game. The fox unit is stable, the chickens tumble nicely, fox and chickens, however, demand assembly work before the very first game, with adult assistance. The waiting for the trousers to drop is thrilling for older players, too, and is greeted with exultations by children.
