The completely irreverent, and somewhat crass, cardgame that pits Weasels and Foxes against steroid-enhanced Cocks.

The farm has become a dangerous place. Hens have become easy prey for the wild animals that roam the outskirts of the land. Each night the weasels and foxes sneak in to nab a nice dinner from the shelter of the chicken coop.

Lately, the farmers have not been as diligent as they should when it comes to the safety of their broods. The roosters have decided to stop their cock fighting and stand up against the attacking beasts. They band together and wait for an attack from the vile creatures, hoping their numbers can fend off the nightly attacks. All is not completely safe for the hens however, as the farmers still like the taste of poultry in their meals…

The Hen House is a fast paced card game for 2-8 players. Each player tries to defend their Hen House while trying to stop the other players from building up their brood.
