About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more farmyard chaos and fun with the Chicken!: Eggspansion! Now, the loyal Blue the Dog and Mother Hen arrive to shake up the base game. Blue might even scare away foxes with his barks, but beware, he loves a nap and isn't always the most reliable helper. Meanwhile, Mother Hen is in full swing, laying eggs and hatching chicks that can boost your score. But stay alert, as more foxes are eyeing this flock!

The big new feature is the Seed Bag, which not only serves to stylishly store everything but also adds an extra layer of excitement to the game. Want to take more risks? You can choose between taking dice from the coop or trying your luck by randomly pulling them from the bag. This expansion brings two new dice and the cloth bag, ensuring every game is unique and full of surprises. With additional rules and new ways to interact with the farm, the game becomes even more dynamic and strategic, perfect for those who already enjoy the original game and want to add an extra spice to their sessions. It's the right choice for anyone looking for quick fun with a touch of luck!
