WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD — Contains small parts. Not suitable for children under 3 years.
ATTENTION: A child's hair can become caught if it comes into contact with the toy's moving parts. Adult supervision required.
Objective
Protect your chickens from flying Louie! Whoever still has the most chicken chips at the end wins!
Assembly
Assembly by adults required.
Ask an adult to help you assemble the game. It's quick and fun.
- Insert the batteries (see back of box).
- Apply the stickers as shown to Louie and his airplane.
- Now carefully attach the airplane to the end of the crane boom and let it snap into place.
- Stick the 4 large barn stickers onto the larger surfaces of the chicken poles, and the small stickers onto the small surfaces.
- Place the game base on a flat, sturdy surface and attach the 4 chicken poles as shown in the picture. To do this, push each chicken pole onto a peg of the game base and press it down so that it snaps into place on the peg.
- Almost done! Stick the Loopin' Louie stickers onto the 4 paddle units. Then attach the paddle units to the chicken poles by carefully pressing them down.
- Attach the cone-shaped stickers to the crane base and the round stickers to the boom.
- Place the crane base onto the pin located in the center of the game base.
- Finally, stick two matching chicken stickers onto the front and back of each chicken chip. Done!

Get Ready!
Now it's the turn of all the little (and big) Loopin' Louie fans!
- Each player chooses a paddle and puts 3 chicken chips into the chip holder of their chicken yard. Remaining chicken chips go back into the game box. Are there only two chicken keepers playing today? Then it's best to sit across from each other.
- Choose your difficulty level. Set your paddle to "easy" or "hard" according to your skill level, by turning the front paddle surface crosswise or lengthwise.
- Prepare Louie for his loop! Move the boom upward so that Louie's airplane stands upright in the air (see small picture on the right).
Let's Go!
Let Louie fly! Turn the game on and get ready. Louie's airplane slowly flies down and the crane starts to turn. Now it's time to protect your chickens!
Watch out, the crazy crash pilot is getting closer and closer. Are your chickens in danger? Then quick! Press the end of your paddle to catapult Louie upward and save your chickens from him. But be careful: Louie is back faster than you think.
(Tip: With increasing looping practice, you'll not only manage to stop Louie from knocking your own chickens off the pole, but even aim to attack your fellow players' poultry.)
If Louie knocks one of your chickens off the pole during his dive, it zooms down the chicken ladder and is lost. This chicken now flies out of the game!
Tip for Chicken Protectors
Hold the base of your paddle steady with your other hand while pressing it — this way you can prevent one of your own chickens from accidentally falling off the pole.
Are All Chickens Lost?
If a player has lost all of their chicken chips, they can no longer win this game. However, they may still keep pressing their paddle and try to send Louie after opposing chickens.
Winning
Louie keeps making his rounds until only a single player still has chicken chips. That player wins the game!
(Our tip: Think up funny tasks for a player who has already been eliminated — for example, they could cluck like a chicken or crow like a rooster.)
Have fun!
