The anthropomorphic characters are weird. Like... I don't get why this is a thing at all. It's clearly a game geared more towards teenagers and adults. There's no need for characters other than people. That said, the game looks fantastic and I'm gonna buy it. Damn it! 😂
Rules clarification please! Regarding the new trail site that allows you to take the action of an open trial site: 1. Do you take the token on the site if it is available? 2. If you have nightfall expansion, can you use the tent if an open trail site has a tent on it?
I love the production values of this video. I know it fits the theme of the this particular game, but I would love to see this style more often! Genius!
such a vague rule book and video. still have no idea what the Lookout trail instructions are. There is not enough information in the basic trail sites section of page 4. the only place reserve or visit a park is explained is in the end of the trail section. do we turn in tokens, do we just collect them, does it mean anything for points, how long do they stay horizontal?
The music was too Hokien for me to really focus and the video went pretty fast! I do like some of the animation though and editing of the video. Our family purchased this game, but it isn’t fully easy to understand the rules just from the instructions they provide in the game.
How convenient that nowhere in the video do they reveal the consequences of busting. Come to find out, there are no consequences for busting. So why would you ever "chicken out?" You are literally just along for the ride with this game, since it offers no active choice with any strategic consequences. The game is flawed.
We thought that at first and it is what it seems from the instructions, but using a little imagination with the "the foxes break in and snatch all the chickens" phrase on the instruction, now what we do is that if you roll 3 or more foxes you have to go back to the start again! That makes it more fun and gives you a reason to chicken out some times 😅 When we want a quicker game then we change that rule to: you have to go back 3 spaces or the number of foxes if there are more instead of going all the way to the start. I hope this makes sense and helps you enjoy the game more, because I think that it's a fun game, even more with this little twist 😊
My group implemented a house rule that every fox counts as a -1 and you don't bust after 3 foxes. That gave a meaningful risk to rolling higher volumes of dice, and also added a fun ability for players to attempt to break even if their first roll had a lot of foxes.
hahahaha omg this is the BEST boardgame tutorial i've ever seen in my LIFE! so well done and entertaining haha, didn't think i'd enjoy learning rules before😂great job!!
Got my CHICKEN! yesterday -- such a delight! Everything about it is amazing... couldn't wait and we played before dinner. It's going in my travelling 'boardgames' collection for game days! CHICKEN!
These instructions would work much better if slower-- giving time to do the set up going along with the video. So far, I don't understand how moving so fast through the instructions is helpful.
