Overview

ChickenFoot is a domino game. This version bills itself as "The One & Only Official Game of ChickenFoot(R)" The following is found on the game box: "Puremco's Chickenfoot is the original, official, and only authorized version of this classic game - beware of knock-off brands! Chickenfoot has just the right mix of simplicity and intrigue to get any group together for some fun! Puremco's Professional Size Dominoes are thicker and have jumbo, bright, colored dots that are uniform in size and easy to see. The Dominoes stand alone keeping you hands free for refreshments and fun. The leatherette, vinyl case is compact and easy to store when traveling or at home." The game includes 55 double-nine dominoes, a domino centerpiece, and rules to ChickenFoot and other domino games including a solitaire dominoes game. Chickenfoot itself is at heart a tile laying network game. Where you start with a double domino. You play 10 rounds, each round starts with a different double domino working your way down from double-nine to double-blank. You must first fill the double chickenfoot with the 8 tiles that go around it. If you can't fill you must draw a new tile, it is like Uno in this aspect. Once the chickenfoot is played you may play a new domino, either putting a number against a number or playing a double tile in a T arrangement across another domino, this becomes a new chickenfoot and must be filled before continuing, a player draws a tile if they can't finish the Chickenfoot. The round ends when one player has no tile, or there are no tiles left to play on a chickenfoot. A fun game that can be played by gamers and non-gamers alike.
