About the game

What is Nobody but Us Chickens?

As sunset approaches in Littleton, Kentucky, Farmer Johnson’s chickens have had a hard day scratching, pecking and egg laying. But now it’s getting dark—time to return to the coop and get a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, a pack of foxes have found the coop and when the rats show up, they’ll snatch every chicken they can lay their fangs on, even if they have to make more than one trip to do it. Will the loyal guard dogs save the chickens from the foxes, or will a rat sneak in and snatch the best chicken for itself? Only you will decide! Nobody But Us Chickens is a fast-paced, Simultaneous Action Selection card game where players earn points by capturing chickens with their predators (foxes and rats) or protecting chickens with their guard dog. The game is easy to learn, but exciting and unpredictable.
