A cartoony, kitchen & household themed family board game, where the objective is to collect 5 eggs before the other players. It is fast-paced with a high degree of uncertainty. The game mechanics are made to be simple and easy to learn, being a roll and move game with a simple deck of cards. The game begins with everyone in the Front Hall, and each player draws a hole card. A player's card determines whether or not they are a chicken. A player can choose to reveal if they are a chicken in the Bathroom to collect an egg. Players can also accuse other players of being a chicken when a player is in the Kitchen. Players either gain or lose eggs when they make correct accusations, and if a player is caught as a chicken in the kitchen they lose an egg. The game can change pace rapidly, and can have swift lead changes. In larger play groups (4-6 players), it is very difficult to determine who will win at most given points in time. It is made so there is a large amount of luck, with some strategic decisions that can be made. However, the benefit or drawback from a player's decisions are only realizable in hindsight. This creates an exciting and fun environment for players of any level of board-game background experience. Great for beginners and intended to be taking purely for fun.
