Early Bird*

Players control Sjef the woodpecker, who is trying to free Willie the worm hidden in a tree. The tree is divided into three colors, and players take turns spinning a wheel or rolling dice to determine their actions. The game ends when Sjef successfully pecks his way to Willie, and the player who releases the worm wins.
