Each playing card shows one of the four different pictures: a hen, five chicks, a basket of eggs and a rooster. Players turn over one card at a time and try to assemble complete sets of four.
Excitement mounts each time a third card is added because the lucky player with the missing card will claim the complete set. When a player opens the fourth card of a family (i.e. completes it), he or she gets the entire family and puts it under his/her stack. The game ends when someone has no cards left. The player with most cards is the winner. There is no influence by the players, so the game is aimed at the very young.

Pay close attention and don't miss your chance - the player with the most cards will win.
