Aim of the Game
The winner is the first to manage to get 3 chicks.
Setup
Place the pile of eggs in the centre, egg side up. Mix the cards. Distribute 4 cards to each player. The remaining cards form the pack, which is placed in the centre next to the pile of eggs.
The youngest player begins. The game is played in a clockwise direction.
How to Play
When it is a player's turn to play, the player chooses:
- to carry out one of the game actions, OR
- to throw a card into the pot.
At the end of the turn, the player picks up the number of cards required in order to always have 4 cards in hand. Then it is the next player's turn.
Game Actions
Lay an Egg
By presenting the 3 cards – rooster, hen, nest – the player may take an egg card. The player places it face up (egg side visible) on the table.
Give Birth to a Chick
The player presents 2 "hen" cards while imitating a hen's cry. The player then turns over one of their "eggs" to make a newborn chick appear.
Take an Egg from Another Player
The player presents a "fox" card to an opponent and asks for an "egg" card (a chick cannot be taken this way). The opponent may counter-attack by presenting 2 "rooster" cards, which are thrown into the pot and immediately replaced by picking up 2 cards.
Discarding
All the cards presented by the players are thrown into the pot and replaced by cards from the pack. Once the pack is used up, the pot is turned over to form a new pack.
Note: A player cannot lay an egg or produce a chick immediately after having picked out a card.
Safety Warning
Warning: small parts.
