Main Catalogue |  BOARD GAMES & CARD GAMES |  Rio Grande Games |  Pick Picknic Pick Picknic Price: £13.99 Currently unavailable. Card Game, 2-6 players, ages 8+. \'A corn please!\' is the cry heard from many fowl mouths at the cold buffet in the poultry yard. Game hens, pheasants, ducks, geese and turkeys seem to be always hungry - never getting enough to eat. In Pick Picknic, a real feast awaits them! The fox however is also always hungry and ready to eat, but from a somewhat different menu… Pick Picknic is a great fun game in which players must fatten up their poultry while avoiding the attentions of the cunning fox, good fun for all the family. ********** 2-6 players, 20 minutes designed by Stefan Dorra reviewed by Alan How This is a re-make of the game Razzia (Raid) by Ravensburger and published in 1992. The game is essentially the same but wrapped in a more family oriented theme of foxes and ducks. The object of the game is to score points, which are mainly gained by the fowl eating food. Six colour coded pens are placed in the centre of the table and a random block of food is placed on each. Players acquire these blocks, which are worth 1, 2 or 3 points each, by playing cards of the same colour as the pens. Each player plays one card, face down and the cards are then revealed simultaneously. Each card shows either a bird or a fox together with a number, which is its value. If yours is the only fowl present, it eats all the food (i.e. you gain all the blocks). If there are other birds present but no foxes, you either make a deal or (more likely) scrap for the food. You do this by adding a normal D6 die roll to the value of your card (3 to 6), with the winner taking all. If a fox has turned up at the pen, he eats the fowl and scores the card value as points, by displaying the card face up in front of him. If there is more than one fox, then they can either agree which fowl to eat or fight in a similar way to the fowl. A twist in the choice of fowl is the flight-ready bird -- a card of value -2. This can zoom in and get a green food block (worth 1 point) and fly out before foxes or other fowl can do anything about it. That\'s basically it. You replenish your hand at the end of your turn and the game lasts about 12 rounds, when there is no more food to distribute. It\'s fun, light and fluffy. Good for people who like bluffing, but you\'ll often find your choices from the hand you have prevent you from going to the pen where the food is stacking up. Card counters may have slight advantage in knowing when foxes have been played, but if you take this game too seriously, you need some help. Good for 20 minutes light entertainment and laughs.
