About the game
In Gigi Gacker, each player sends five young chickens of different ages to feast. There is a clear pecking order at the tasty worm buffet where young cacklers line up at the front. But the fattest worm morsels often only come out of the ground where the smallest chicks pick up all the remaining scraps much later. In each game round, a different worm menu is served. This menu tells the players which of their chickens they can expect to be most satiated. However, because all players make their choice at the same time, all the young chickens often run after the most coveted worms at the same time, like a startled flock of chickens. The mother hens add extra spice to the worm buffet because they make sure that their over-satiated youngsters are also allowed a second course at the buffet. And then – how sneaky – worms that have already been snatched up can also be used as bait for their unsuspecting comrades. Gigi Gacker is a turbulent card game about early risers, late eaters, and the worm around which this world revolves. —description from the publisher
