About the game

What is Chicken Chicken?

Outburst of laughter guaranteed with Chicken Chicken, a fast, original and clever card game first released as Poule Poule that will make you love — or hate — omelets! The principle of Chicken Chicken is very simple: egg cards, hen cards, fox cards are stacked randomly, the last card hiding the others. As soon as you count five eggs in the pile, be the first to hit the pile to win one point! You must win three points to win the game. But, be careful not forget that when a hen passes by and there is an egg in the pile, the hen cannot help sitting on an egg, which means that egg disappears! And if a fox passes by and a hen is sitting, the fox hunts the hen and the egg comes back! Otherwise it would be too simple! Not to mention the intervention of the other characters in the story... —description from the publisher
