Overview

You are trying to have the most of the same Hen type by game's end

Turn

On your turn you will draw 2 new cards, play one card, discard one card

For each card drawn, you can either draw from the deck or from an opponent's discard pile (you cannot draw from an opponent in the first round)

Place a hen in your 4x3 or 3x4 grid whilst respecting orthogonal adjacency rules, the adjacent hens can either be the same breed (colour) and any number OR different breed/colour but 1 higher or lower in value (e.g. a 3 can go next to a 2 or a 4)

If you cannot, or don't wish to, place a hen following placement rules, place it facedown as a coop for -1 points but still adjacent to previously laid cards. After which, any hen can be placed adjacent to a coop, but still respecting any other adjacent hens.

Finally, discard a hen from your hand

Rooster

At the end of the 6th round, all players simultaneously place their rooster token on a hen

The group of hens marked by the rooster will score at the end in addition to the largest group unless they are the same, as such it's advised to NOT place the rooster on the group you think will be the largest

Game End

The game ends at the end of the 12th round
