Rauf und runter

In Rauf & Runter, the results of the dice determine the momentum with which a chicken climbs higher on the ladder. Too little momentum causes a standstill, and too much momentum causes a fall.

Glucki wants to get to the top of the chicken ladder, but so do other chickens. Soon there is a lot of cackling. To prevent all the hens from acting like the cock of the walk, the chicken yard staff determines the chicken with the best chance of climbing the ladder every day, and Glucki's mates don't spend a lot of time bickering about it either. They take their flight to the top – in the form of five dice – in their own claws. High speed during the run-up provides momentum, but if you flap your wings too much, you will stumble down more rungs than up. It's much better for prudent hens, who sometimes also let off a few feathers, to achieve true top positions.
