Day 2 of the previews, and our second Attack, Fried.
Fried is another attack that is not lethal normally. But, Fried is definitely an attack that is going to make your opponent(s) think long and hard about using a Dodge.
Attack Cards are played against Roosters, and deal damage to them. When a Rooster has taken damage equal to, or greater than, their Feathers, they are defeated, and the player who finished them off gets to add their egg value to their Egg Basket.

Welcome to Day 1 of the Oh Cluck! previews. From now until Christmas, you can expect a preview a day, and as we get closer, we’ll get into the 12 days of Clucksmas, where we show you the Roosters.
Today, we have Chicken Scratch. This 1 point attack may not fell a Rooster in a single blow, but don’t immediately discount this attack purely based on the low number.
Attack Cards are played against Roosters, and deal damage to them. When a Rooster has taken damage equal to, or greater than, their Feathers, they are defeated, and the player who finished them off gets to add their egg value to their Egg Basket.
The Fools want to wish everyone a day of happy deal hunting as you embark upon your Cyber Monday endeavors! May the deals be plentiful, the shipping be free, and the product be in stock!
We’re working hard prepping for the Kickstarter campaign for Oh Cluck! and hope to share more news with you soon!
Foolish Media LLC is proud to announce that their debut card game, Oh Cluck!, is headed for a January 2018 Launch to Kickstarter. For More information, You can download the Press Release here.
Cal was supposed to be dinner. His time was up, his number had been called. The farmer had come to take him to the Barn to get him ready for dinner, and that’s about the time that Monster Broke out of the barn.
Cal seized the opportunity to escape, but sadly, the near dinner experience, coupled with seeing Monster destroy a barn caused him to molt every single feather he had.
Mentioning to Cal that he’s featherless is apt to land you in a brawl anywhere, at anytime. Eggbert has been trying to find a way to stimulate feather growth, but so far, Cal is still bald.
The art of Oh Cluck! was quite a hit at Con on the Cob, a true testament to the love and passion Ray has for bringing our games to life. If you’re curious how Ray has created our Roosters, stick around. If you don’t care, you’re going to miss out on a preview.
Step 1: Lets get the idea on paper
Everything starts with paper and pencil for Ray.
After Ray is comfortable with the feel of a sketch, it’s on to;
Step 2: Get that sketch into Illustrator Even if it’s just a photograph of the artwork and not a scan, it gets imported into Illustrator, where Ray defines the lines.
After Ray has the art to this point, the rest is Coloring, and applying card templating
Step 3: Make that Rooster Crow! After applying a background and color to the rooster, they find their final home inside the template of a card. This includes adding the color cutout, name, text, as well as any feathers and eggs that the card may require.
Meet Seth!
Some of you may be staring at Seth, and then looking through your Bootleg Editions of Oh Cluck! wondering where he is!
Well, Seth is not there. But fear not! You can own Seth soon! Seth is part of our upcoming Kickstarter Campaign as a stretch goal.
Foolish Media is proud to announce that Oh Cluck! is now alive and cluckin’ in the Board Game Geek Database!
Check us out, here. We will be working to keep the game as up to date as possible through this process, and interacting with people on our forums over there.
If you are unfamiliar with Board Game Geek, it is the largest online DB of games, and gaming on the net. Their database offers you the ability to track games that you own, play, and even create a wishlist of what you want to own. There are ways to trade games, buy games, and so much more. I highly recommend signing up for an account if you don’t have one. The account is free, and there are a million things you can do with it.
If you own a copy of Oh Cluck!, and want to rate your enjoyment of the game BGG, you can do that here.

With more and more digital content being consumed on a Mobile device, we here at Foolish Media wanted to make sure you could keep up with us at the press of a button.
Introducing the Foolish Media Icon! You can now use your Mobile Device’s browser to add a bookmark to our site (or any page on our site) to your device, complete with an App Style Icon.
If you are unsure how to generate the icon, it’s pretty simple!
From Google Chrome, you will tap the 3 buttons in the top right, and then simply select “Add to Home Screen”
From Safari, tap the tray at the bottom of the browser to open your sharing options, and click “Add to Home Screen”
Other Browsers may be slightly different, but they will all have the “Add to Home Screen” Functionality near the normal bookmarks.
Once you have tapped the Add to Home Screen, You’ll need to edit the “title” of the Icon, because for some reason, they want to give you the name of the site, AND the tagline for the site. I recommend just chopping it down to Foolish Media, Unless, you are planning on grabbing the new up and coming Game FAQ (what!? an announcement inside another announcement?), then maybe you want to name it “Oh Cluck FAQ” or something similar.
Con on the Cob 2017 is now officially in the books, but we wanted to tell you about the weekend!
