Dear Mice and Meeces of Tockton Clock,
Wax your whiskers and straighten your tails, for you are hearby invited to the Royal Scavenger Hunt! Gather your team and hop and shove your way to glory! BUT, mind your scavenger hunt card, for these items may be worth extra prizes once the clock strikes midnight! We will also have a chain climbing race for the little ones.
The event begins at 7 p.m. SHARP. Dress is smart casual. A meal of sweet berries will be served for each item delivered.
P.S. I seem to have misplaced my regal relics again. If you find them I'll give you something special!
Welcome to the Royal Scavenger Hunt!
In Hickory Dickory, you will play as a team of mice competing to collect tiles, climb the cuckoo clock weights, find royal relics and complete quests to gain the favor of the all-powerful Lord Cuckoo and ultimately win a feast of berries in your honor!
Players will do this by having their mice ride around the clock on the minute hand as it ticks from space to space. On each space the mice on the hand will get the chance to hop off the tip of the minute hand and take that space's designated ACTION while collecting revealed item tokens from that space.
The mice who were already patiently waiting on that space will get the chance to either stay where they are and take that space's action, or hop onto the rear of the minute hand before it ticks forward once more.
But be careful! If a mouse hops on to the hand, and there isn't room for more mice, the mouse on the front of the hand will be bumped off, forcing them to take an action they may not have wanted.
Clock spaces include a variety of actions mice can perform, and FAVOUR cards offer the potential for unexpected surprises.
Gain Victory Points by
Finding tiles you need for your scavenger hunt card. Each row and column completed at game's end will earn players 5 points. Delivered tiles that aren't on your hunt card still earn points, they just don't get added to your hunt card for end game points.
Racing to the top of the chain weights. The faster your scaler mouse climbs, the more victory points they'll gain.
Taking advantage of quests and relics. Each relic returned to Lord Cuckoo at the 12 space earns that player 5 VP and one favor card. Quests net either 5 or 7 VP.
The mice who manage both their time and the space in their bags most effectively will score the most victory points and find themselves invited to a feast with Lord Cuckoo himself!
