Gameplay
A Fistful of Turkeys is a game that simulates the struggle between turkeys and a deranged turkey hunter, Billy Jackal.[1]
Reception
Tom Gordon reviewed A Fistful of Turkeys in The Space Gamer No. 41.[1] Gordon commented that "All in all I feel that this game is not even fit for a beer and pretzel game. It possesses nothing unique or worth [the price]. It is, however, a real 'turkey' game."[1]
"Sahm Reviews" thought that the touches of parody were more interesting than the game: "a bogus author introduction, an angry letter from a customer, a fictional game list, silly versions of major game company logos, and the manner in which “Some Turkey Games” is printed at the bottom of the cover (copying the style used on the early [Steve Jackson Games] games)."[2]
