In a lively henhouse showdown, players race to be the first to empty their hand by outplaying rivals with eggs, chickens, and hungry predators.

Gameplay

Play sets of matching cards to beat what’s on the table and shed your hand, sometimes using predator animals to wipe out eggs or chickens. The tension is timing your strongest plays while opponents try to trap you with cards you can’t get rid of.
