About the game
This is a funny party game that every player wears a headband, and puts a play card which illustrates an egg on the headband. Player must not look at his own card, that means everyone doesn't know the egg on his own head but can see other's eggs. You need to guess what your egg is according to other's actions. In each turn, the eggs of some players will be broken, and the eggs of some other players would hatch successfully. You need to protect your egg from be broken. The player who firstly hatches ten eggs will be the winner. It's not just funny during this process, but also contest of your mentality and deduction ability.
