About the game

All’s fair — or fowl — in a chicken war! In Chicken War, the goal is to have all of the Chickens in your Yard match your secret Leader Chicken. Every Chicken has certain traits, and to match, Chickens must have two and only two of these traits in common. On your turn, draw Chicken tiles from the draw pile, and switch them out for Chickens in your Yard. When you have a fully matching Army, you win! But don’t be too obvious about which Chicken you’re matching—your opponents can use special actions or even throw an Egg to try to guess your Leader, and if they’re right, you’re out! -description from publisher
