Description
Who will be the first player to safely lay and then hatch three little chicks? Sound simple? Perhaps! But beware, cheeky foxes are out to steal your unhatched eggs…
It’s a simple game to play – children need only have four cards in their hands at any time, which makes deciding what to do very simple. Older children will enjoy adding a little extra strategy – keeping an eye on who is about to win and then scuppering their chances, and younger children ADORE the fact that a daddy chicken, mummy chicken and a nest mean they can lay an egg. The box says 6 years and upwards, but with a bit of help, this game could be played by a switched on 4 year old.
Panic in the hen house, the fox is on the prowl and the eggs have not yet hatched !
When it his turn to play, the players chooses :
to throw a card into the pot
or to carry out one of the game actions :
lay an egg (by presenting the 3 cards – hen, rooster, nest, the player make take an egg card. He places in front of him, egg side up),
give birth to a chick (the player presents 2 “hen” cards whilst imitating a hen’s cry. He then turns over one of his “eggs” to make a newborn chick appear.)
or take an egg from another player (the player presents a “fox” card to an advesary, and ask him for an “egg” card (not a chick). The adversary may counter-attack by presenting 2 “rooster cards)
The winner is the first to manage to get 3 chicks. Comes in a lovely box with a sliding cover which measures 12cm x 8.5cm x 3cm. Suitable for ages 5 plus – 99 years.
Parent review :
Piou Piou by Djeco is the surprise hit of last year…Surprise, because we didn’t order it, but it accidently snuck into a delivery. Piou Piou proved to be an Easter holiday hero – both my children adore this game, as does my husband, which means that I do too!
