Chicken Cha Cha Cha*

Chicken Cha Cha Cha is a delightful and engaging memory game that combines the whimsy of chickens learning to dance with the challenge of strategic movement and memory. Players become chickens vying to out-memorize and outmaneuver their opponents around a circuitous path, aiming to collect the tail feathers of their rivals by accurately recalling the images hidden on octagonal tiles.

Gameplay Overview

  • Memory-Based Movement: Players attempt to advance their wooden chicken pieces around a pathway of egg tiles by matching the images on these tiles with those on the octagons laid out in the yard.
  • Strategic Leapfrogging: Successfully matching an image not only allows a player to move forward but also to leap over and steal the tail feathers from another player's chicken if they land on the same tile, adding a layer of strategy and competition.
  • Goal: The objective is to collect all of the tail feathers by outsmarting your opponents through superior memory and strategic movement. The first player to achieve this wins the game.
