Gigi Gacker

Gigi Gacker is a card game for 2-5 players in which young chickens compete for the best worms across 9 rounds of simultaneous choices. Each round reveals a fresh row from the draw pile, and the value played decides which position in that row goes into hand first, turning every reveal into a quick contest of timing, nerve and reading the menu on the table. The set combines 36 worm cards with values from 1 to 8, 25 pullet cards in 5 colors with values from 3 to 7, 9 mother-hen cards and 1 tractor card. The goal is to finish with the highest total value of worm cards in hand, while pullets, mother hens and cards in the personal discard pile do not count. Ties are not left hanging either: if players match on worm value, the win goes to the one with fewer hand cards. In the 2-player game, a Robo-chicken joins the action with unused pullet cards, removes the cards it wins from play, and takes the tractor card every third round. With a recommended age of 8+ and a play time of about 30 minutes, Gigi Gacker suits family tables, after-school rounds and travel-friendly game nights. Languages DE/GB support mixed-language households, and the compact card-based format keeps setup light while still leaving room for sharp tactical swings until the ninth round.
