I brought it for my arkham horror cards, they fit perfectly and it looks amazing.
Got a bag for the tokens, but it's just big enough for all of them. Could be bigger.

This Deluxe Edition is all of the same Pick-Omino fun, in a more durable tin container to keep all the game contents together and pristine.
In Pick-Omino, two to seven players, ages 8 and up try to obtain fried worms for their chickens, so that they don't go hungry. Of course, anyone who doesn't manage to grab a worm off of the grill can help himself to those of his opponents. This fast-paced game is a gambling game in the finest chicken tradition.
Each turn players roll their dice and set aside all those matching any single value. The remaining dice are rolled and any value is set aside again until the player stops and takes a tile or busts and puts their last tile back. When a player busts and fails to take a tile they must also turn the highest tile face-down.
Great game! My partner and i have already played it many times and it's fun to the last play.
You really do need to play until the last tile is collected because impossible to predict the outcome! P
This is a great example of a game that bridges the gap between older mainstream games and modern board games. It’s quick to play, easy to reach and has enough push-your-luck decisions to keep it interesting. A solid, family weight choice from Dr. Knizia.
I brought out this game at a Superbowl party. it was a great distraction for those uninterested in the football game or in the other board/card games going on. The game packs up easily in its tin and the game pieces are very durable. Not much strategy involved, but does appeal to gamers who like "push your luck" games.
This has become an essential game in our collection - everyone we've introduced it to has enjoyed it. It's light, plays pretty quick, and is very easy to teach to non-gamers which means it get's requested quite a bit. The press-your-luck aspect is fun and provides some "wow!" moments when someone gets the exact roll they needed or gets the number they need to take the top tile from the person that is just about to win. We've seen huge swings in scoring and epic come backs from those who seemed out of the game early.
This deluxe version should include the "Heckmeck Extrawurm" expansion which adds a little bit more complexity and variety. We've gotten to where we always play with the expansion now and it really doesn't make it all that much more difficult to teach. It's a really nice filler!
