Description Edit | History

From the publisher, Zoch:
"The well known ' Zoch Chickens' turn up in a hectic dice battle in Heckmeck Am Bratwurmeck. Two to seven players 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."

This game is a basic dice-roller to build a good total to take the numbered tiles to get the most worms. Failure to take a tile means you put one back and the highest tile is turned face-down.

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

The Dutch edition is part of the Jakkie & Bak Collection
The German edition is part of The Chicken Family of Zoch.
