Pick-omino

In Pickomino, two to seven players, ages 8 and up try to obtain fried worms for their chickens, so that they don't go hungry. Of course, anyone who doesn't manage to grab a worm off of the grill can help himself to those of his opponents. This fast-paced game by Reiner Knizia is, like Hick Hack im Gackelwack, a gambling game in the finest chicken tradition.

What is Pick-omino

In Pickomino, two to seven players, ages 8 and up try to obtain fried worms for their chickens, so that they don't go hungry. Of course, anyone who doesn't manage to grab a worm off of the grill can help himself to those of his opponents. This fast-paced game by Reiner Knizia is, like Hick Hack im Gackelwack, a gambling game in the finest chicken tradition.

Each turn players roll their dice and set aside all those matching any single value. The remaining dice are rolled and any value is set aside again until the player stops and takes a tile or busts and puts their last tile back. When a player busts and fails to take a tile they must also turn the highest tile face-down.

Interestingly, the German edition from Zoch has English rules in the box.

The Dutch edition is part of the Jakkie & Bak Collection

Un juego de dados muy sencillo, para niños prácticamente, que tuve ocasión a probar allá por Noviembre de 2009, en una buena sesion con Javi en Torrelavega. Probamos unos cuantos juegos y este es el que menos me convenció, aunque es un juego que tiene muchos adeptos.

2-7 J. (3-4 mejor). Juego de dados ligero. Más de tentar a la suerte que de estrategia.
