Description
A puzzly abstract card game of hen breeding.
In Hens you are a hen breeder! Each round you will play a hen card from your hand, trying to create a harmonious barnyard with different hen breeds. The rules to place cards are few and simple, but the difficulty lies in making large groups of hens of the same breed.
At the end of the game you will gain points from your largest group of hens of the same breed in your barnyard, from your rooster token and from the goal card. Don’t forget some rare hens give you medals worth points at the end of the game.
The hen breeder with the best barnyard wins!
