About the game
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

Questions and answers
Chicken Chicken supports 2–8 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 Chicken Chicken is 20 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 Chicken Chicken for ages 8 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.
Chicken Chicken has a complexity rating of 1.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
