Blindes Huhn: Maus & Habicht is an expansion for Blindes Huhn (Second Edition) released in 2015 for 3–5 players, 30–40 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Heike Risthaus.
Blindes Huhn: Maus & Habicht adds mice and hawk cards to the Blindes Huhn base game, along with job cards that — if completed — provide as many points at the end of the game as the number of players who contributed. The expansion brings two options which can be implemented to the base game independent from each other, but can be added to the game both together too right from the beginning. Mice and Hawks: Take a mouse for every chicken card you acquire during the auction phase showing a mouse. Take a hawk for every hawk on a chicken card you get during an auction (not in case of payment by another player). At the end of the game, every hawk eats a mouse (and a blind hen, if there is no mouse in your display) and every surviving mouse eats a corn. Mission/Job cards: draw randomly two or three of these cards and keep them secret from the other players. When scoring, prove that you have met the requirements of your mission cards and earn additional points. Missions are different, for example collect a minimum of specific cards (value 1, 2, 3 or 4) or a sequence in a common color (green 1-2-3-4).
Blindes Huhn: Maus & Habicht supports 3–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Blindes Huhn: Maus & Habicht is 30–40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Blindes Huhn: Maus & Habicht for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
