How to Play
Beginning Your Turn
At the beginning of your turn, you must choose one of two options:
After your first roll, set any chickens to the right and foxes to the left.
Busting Rule: If at any point during your turn you have rolled 3 or more foxes across all your dice, your turn ends and you score zero points.
Hatching Dice
If you didn't bust after your first roll, leave blank dice and eggs in the middle.
For each egg symbol rolled, add a die from the Coop to the middle. Yellow dice are added first, then orange dice if no yellow remain.
You now choose to reroll all dice in the middle OR stop and "count your chickens".
If you reroll, you must roll ALL dice in the middle (blanks, eggs, and newly added dice). You only get one reroll per turn.
Counting Your Chickens
When your turn ends with less than 3 foxes, score 1 point for every chicken rolled.
Move your player token one space per point around the board.
The double chicken on orange dice is worth 2 points!
Pass all your dice to the next player clockwise.
Pro Farmer Tip
As the dice pool gets bigger, use the tube to help roll all them chickens!
You Busted!
If 3 or more foxes are showing across all your dice:
End of Game
When a player ends their turn with 25 or more points, the game ends immediately and that player wins!
