Crikey! Mowing Time in the Croc Pen 2025

The crocodile pen needs mowing again and you drew the short straw. This job is for the most intrepid person, but you'll have to do it anyway. Your job is to mow each section while avoiding the crocodiles before the next show. The pressure is on because the zoo guest are starting to gather around the crocodile pen.

Don't fret too much because the crocodiles are used to staff in the pen, but they will nip at your ankles. If you get bit three times, you will have to get your wounds attended to and your day is over. If you mow every section of the pen, you win the game.

Crikey! is a roll and write, dice drafting game where you are trying to mow every section of the crocodile pen before all the visitors show up. Each turn you will mark a visitor, roll and apply three dice and then move the crocodiles. Be careful, if a crocodile ends up on your space after moving, you get bit. If a crocodile ends up adjacent to you, you may still get bit.

If you mow every section of the game board before the visitors show up, you win the game. If you get bit three bites or all the visitors show up before you finish, you lose your job ... and the game.
