Product Information
Full details
The Cock-A-Doodle Board Game is a suspenseful, high-energy tabletop experience designed for families and children who enjoy lighthearted, fast-paced competition. The game excels at building anticipation through its interactive "rooster wake-up" mechanic, though players should be aware that the excitement centers around a single surprise action that resets the game's flow. It serves as an excellent tool for developing reaction times, strategic decision-making, and manual dexterity in younger players without requiring any electronic components or batteries.

What is the recommended age for this game?
The game is designed for children and families, typically suitable for ages 4 and up.
What should I do if I lose a token?

Is the rooster's squawk sound loud?
The sound is designed to be a clear, audible mechanical trigger meant to surprise players and prompt laughter.
Troubleshooting
The rooster does not squawk when the wing is pressed.
Ensure the internal mechanism has been fully reset by following the reset instructions in the manual, as the trigger may need to be latched correctly.
The wing feels stiff or difficult to press.
Do not force the wing. Check for any obstructions around the hinge and ensure the unit is placed on a level surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the game is straightforward: place the rooster unit on a flat, stable surface where all players have easy reach. Distribute the animal tokens according to the instructions, and ensure the internal trigger mechanism is reset before beginning.
Because the game relies on mechanical springs and tension, avoid forcing the rooster's wing if it feels stuck. To maintain the game, store the animal tokens in a small bag to prevent loss, and wipe the plastic components with a dry or slightly damp cloth if they become dusty. Keep the unit in a cool, dry place to ensure the mechanical parts function smoothly for future sessions.
