About the game
What you do in a play session
The younger crowd can finally join the fun! Heckmeck Junior brings all the enjoyment of Pick-omino, but with a perfect twist for the little ones. Forget numbers on the dice; here, you need to roll juicy ingredients to assemble the best chicken burger. Cucumbers, cheese, and ketchup – everything to make your chicken wings flutter with joy! The goal is to become the Worm King of the Day by collecting the tastiest ingredients for your Mac Heck. If your favorite delicacy is already on the grill, no worries: you can snag it from other players' plates. The main difference from the adult version is that the dice feature food symbols instead of numbers, and the scoring tiles have smaller, easy-to-add numbers. It's a dice-rolling, push-your-luck game that guarantees laughs and a bit of tension with every roll. Perfect for introducing kids to the world of board games with a lighthearted and guaranteed fun experience.
