Backyard Chickens is a deck-building game for two to five players in which you and your neighbors compete to raise the best flock on the block!

During your turn, you collect eggs, purchase supplies, and care for your chickens. Failing to feed and water your chickens will make them unhappy. Unhappy chickens produce fewer eggs, are worth fewer victory points and may run away.

Play continues until a player’s flock is worth ten or more points. The player with the most points wins the game!
