Why Your Grandma Could Beat You at Rooster Royale (And Other Hard Truths)

Let me paint you a picture: It’s 3 AM, I’m knee-deep in spreadsheets analyzing player retention metrics when suddenly - bam! - my Twitter feed blows up with clips of some ridiculous chicken fight game set on Mount Olympus.

Final Verdict: Gaming’s Trojan Horse?

Is Rooster Royale innovative design or just skinner box 2.0? As both an industry insider and recovering League addict, I’ll say this: Any game that gets construction workers debating Homeric epic tropes while managing bankrolls deserves our attention. Just maybe set a timer before you start chasing that Hermes multiplier…
