About the game
What you do in a play session
Each player will use cards representing the clock's hands, and the goal is to try and assemble the piece in the best way possible, using the most valuable and efficient materials for each part. It's a game that challenges you to think fast and plan your actions carefully. Throughout the game, you'll have four action options on your turn: buy new materials, use what you have to build the clock, renovate something already made, or recycle pieces that are no longer useful.
And to make things even more exciting, in the advanced mode, some special cards can give your clock a boost with unique effects when played. The game has a sense of urgency, as the match ends as soon as the first clock is completed. But watch out for haste! Sometimes, trying to rush too much can end up spoiling the project. "Cuckoo!" is the kind of game that mixes luck, strategy, and a bit of chaos, perfect for those who enjoy quick games with a cute theme and a pleasant challenge. Grab your tools and let's adjust those hands!
