My daughter received this for her 4th birthday and we have played it everyday since! My older daughter, 7, loves it as well! There is no reading involved, just good ole fashion fun! Each player gets 3 chickens with different hats to play with. The 2 dice have pictures of hats and the red rooster. You roll the dice and move your chickens according to the pictures on the dice. The first one to the top, wins. There is some strategy involved as to how/where you place your chickens. And of course when you get the rooster, you get to chuck an egg, marble, at your opponents! But watchout you don't hit yourself in the process! The white marble slides down a short slide that moves at the top of the game and you get to take aim! Of course my kids love this part the most! Overall, this is a great, fun game that we can all play. It even travels with us! Highly recommend.

Got this for my kids for Christmas because Amazon was selling at a price I couldn't pass up. My boys are 2 and 4. This game is beyond the 2-yr-old, but the 4-yr-old LOVES it. And, frankly, I love it, too.

No reading required and the rules are simple. But winning is not guaranteed for older/wiser parents. There is enough chance involved to make the game exciting and unpredictable. You move chickens up levels to reach the rooster. Occasionally a player will launch an egg from the rooster at the apex with the goal of knocking over another player's chicken(s) so they have to start at the bottom again. The fun part - the ball is not quite round so you're never quite sure where it will go! We played a couple of games the day after Christmas and my 4-yr-old beat me fair and square and we laughed all the way through the game. This is not typical for him - he gets frustrated easily with some other games, but this one was so goofy that we both just laughed about our mishaps.

That said, this is not an "educational" game, but, well, it's a game, so I don't mind.

We have about 12 games at home for 5 to 6-yr-old group and this is our favorite for having fun. Highly recommended.

I bought Chuck-it-Chicken and "Cat and Mouse" for Christmas and out of the 12 games my 5 year old received these two are her favorites. I appreciate that the games are adorable and of obvious quality. It may be a small thing but I also appreciate the sturdy box the games came in..I am so tired of boxes that fall apart! Great fun for all! Thanks Ravensberger..I will be buying all of your games!
