Click-Click, Buzz-Buzz, NOM-NOM!

The more you wind 'em up, the farther they go in this pizza-chomping, wind-up dinosaur game.

Click-Click, Buzz-Buzz, Nom-Nom! is a tiny hex-grid movement game for 2 players, featuring strategic choices and simultaneous turns. Each player operates a tiny wind-up dinosaur. Those dinosaurs race around trying to collect the most pepperonis.

It's as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Click-Click. "Wind-Up" your dino by rotating it clockwise 1-5 "clicks."

2. Buzz-Buzz. For every "click" you turned, move your dino forward exactly 1 space.

3. Nom-Nom! Eat that pizza! If you hit any slices while moving, they're yours. Collect them and save them for game-end scoring.

Take simultaneous turns until 1 dino chomps down its 5th slice of pizza. Then count your pepperonis to determine the winner.

1.) Cut out the pieces along each of the dashed white lines.

2.) Scatter the pizza slices on the table.

3.) Choose a dino. Take its 2 matching tokens. Flip one of them dino-side-up and put it in front of you, about 6" from the edge of the table, facing toward center. Flip the other token to the "spacer" side and place it just center of your dino.

Each player winds up and moves their dino. Along the way, the dino eats any pizza it touches. Collect these pizza slices for game-end scoring.

Wind-Up.

Move.

Eat Pizza!

After both players finish a turn, they start a new turn. Turns are simultaneous, but not real-time—wait for both players to finish a turn before you wind up again.

Once either player collects their 5th slice of pizza, finish that turn. Then count the pepperonis. The player with rhe most is the winner!

If this game makes it to the semi-finals in the Single Card Contest, we'll create the "Wound-Up Round-Up" series. That includes a larger version of this game, with hefty punchouts, more pizza toppings, and some strategic twists. We'll also commission art for new variations, so you can mix and match them and play with up to 6-players at a time!

Other variations could include:

• Snuffle for Truffles: wind-up piggies sniff out the best mushrooms.
• Go Bananas: wind-up chimps dash for slices of banana-cream pie.
