About Chicken Road
Discover the flock behind the fun and the journey of Chicken Road from a fledgling idea to your game night table!
Our Clucking Story
The tale of Chicken Road began not in a boardroom, but around a kitchen table littered with dice, meeples, and half-eaten pizza. We, a group of avid board game fanatics, often joked about the classic riddle: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" One evening, fueled by too much caffeine and a desire to create something uniquely fun, the question sparked an idea. What if crossing the road was an epic, strategic, and hilariously perilous adventure? Thus, the first prototype of Chicken Road, scribbled on napkins and featuring bottle caps as chickens, was born. We wanted to capture that delightful chaos and tactical thinking that makes game nights memorable, and Chicken Road was our answer.
From those humble beginnings, Chicken Road has been a labor of love. We spent countless hours playtesting, tweaking rules (often leading to heated "chicken debates"), and refining every aspect of the game. Our goal was to create a board game that was easy to learn for families, yet offered enough strategic depth to keep seasoned gamers clucking for more. The journey involved collaborating with talented artists to bring the quirky world of Chicken Road to life, ensuring every card and character oozed personality. Chicken Road is more than just a game to us; it's a shared experience, a testament to friendship, and a celebration of the simple joy of playing together. We are thrilled to share Chicken Road with you and hope it brings as much laughter to your table as it has to ours.
