    Who wouldn't want LEGO chickens?

    Written by (AFOL , bronze-rated reviewer) in Australia,

    The other review here is very thorough, so I'll just add;

    The piece value is very good - BL last 6m average is 2.5 times the RRP, so get this on discount and you're laughing.

    Aside from those listed in the other review here, more great parts in this set are:

    • the incredibly useful 1x1 round plate with hole; this game has the most - sixteen!
    • various square and round Bright Pink tiles, some with a really cute printed face on them.

    I really love the simple gameplay and the hilarious chickens. The rooster looks more like something you'd buy as a 1970s souvenir from Spain than an actual rooster! His waddle is made from a yellow mug - highly inventive!

    Definitely one of my 'top 5' LEGO Games, as a game and as a 'parts pack'.

    Great quick game for kids and adults alike!

    Written by (AFOL) in Australia,

    I have been waiting impatiently for the 2012 Games (and a number of 2012 sets too) for some time, so when I saw this for AU$13.75 in KMart, I didn't wait to buy.

    As you expect for an age 6+ Lego Game, the build is basic and repetitive. You have to build 8 chickens, and they are very similar. There is also the two "ends" of a worm and the die, and that is all there is to build.

    You get some interesting parts, 33 white "eggs" and 1 golden one, a bunch of corner roof pieces in grey, brown and blue and some assorted bits in red and yellow.

    There is still very little info available, so I will try to give you some idea of the gameplay.

    The Die has Grey, Brown, Blue, White and Pink sides, with either the Grey or Pink duplicated depending on the rules you use. Grey or Brown, you choose to either get another chicken of the colour you rolled, OR collect eggs for each chicken of that colour you already have. Blue, you get the rooster - next time your chickens lay, you get double the eggs. White, you steal an egg off an opponent. And Pink, EVERYONE races to grab the worm token, the first person to do so gets an egg for each chicken (except the rooster).

    Obviously with children, you will just try to collect as many eggs as possible. With older players, there are some strategies possible (ie, do you take some eggs, or take a chicken from your opponent so they don't get so many eggs next time).

    This is a fun little game, more complex than Shave-A-Sheep (Wild Wool), but still simple enough for kids to enjoy. I probably agree with Lego that it is 6+ while Shave-A-Sheep was 5+. If you have kids in that age bracket, they should enjoy it.
