Operation Cuckoo

Welcome to the battle nest!

In this fast tactical game you try to work your way out of the nest by having all the eggs of your own color hit or by luring your competitor into the trap.

Get ready for Operation Cuckoo.
Cuckoo birds lay their eggs in the nest of other birds. You as a cuckoo crawl out of your eggshell and you are not charmed by all these strange birds in your nest. In this tactical two-player game you make sure that your cuckoo is the only piece of your color on the board, this is how you win the game. You can also win if your cuckoo reaches the other side of the nest, or you beat your opponent’s cuckoo. On your turn you may move one piece forward. Eggs move one step, birds move one or two steps. When you can ‘hit’ you must hit.

Do you provoke the enemy to hit your pieces?
