Chicken!: Eggspansion is an expansion for Chicken! released in 2023 for 2–8 players, 10–20 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Scott Almes and its main mechanics are Push Your Luck and Dice Rolling.
Blue the Dog and Mother Hen are ready to help out on the farm. The Chicken! Eggspansion includes two new dice and a cloth Seed Bag to mix things up on the farm! Blue the Dog may bark to scare away Foxes, but like any good boy, he loves a nap, and might not be the most reliable helper. Mother Hen is laying Eggs and hatching Chicks that will maximize your scoring potential, but look out! More Foxes are after this fabulous fowl. The Seed Bag is not just a useful tool to hold all your components for storage, it also gives you a fun new way to push your luck on the dice you roll throughout the game. In the Expansion, you get to choose whether you hatch new dice from those available in the Coop, or pull them randomly from the Seed Bag.
Chicken!: Eggspansion 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!: Eggspansion is 10–20 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!: Eggspansion 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!: Eggspansion has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.

The catalogue lists Chicken!: Eggspansion as an expansion for Chicken!.

Check that your edition of Chicken! is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
