Rooster Run is a board game released in 2015 for 2–6 players, 10 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Lionel Borg and its main mechanics are Set Collection and Memory.
Description from the publisher: Get ready to hunt for love as you dig up worthy worms to woo the hearts of the hens on the farm! Rooster Run is a twist of a memory game in which you are a strapping young rooster ready to peck your way to that dear hen's prize worm and win her heart. Flip over earth tiles to find the perfect dinner. After you find two worthy worms, end the round by calling out "Cock-a-doodle-doo!!" and score points for correct matches — but don't be too hasty! If you call out too soon without your prize worm, prepare for heartbreak and lose your dinner!
Rooster Run supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Rooster Run is 10 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Rooster Run for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Rooster Run has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
