The goal is to get three chicks before the fox arrives and eats them! Of course, to get them, you have to follow some simple rules.

Playing in turns, the player who most recently ate an egg starts. They look at their hand of cards, and depending on the cards they've been dealt, two things can happen:
- If we combine 1 rooster + 1 hen + 1 nest, we'll discard these three cards into a discard pile, and we can take an egg and place it egg-side up in our spot. Watch out! Your egg is now within everyone's reach, and the fox could steal it! Draw three more cards from the center pile, bringing your total to 4 again.
-
If we combine two hens, we'll discard these two cards to the discard pile, and we can turn an egg we have into a chick. Phew... we can rest now. The fox can't take the chicks. Draw two more cards from the center pile, bringing the total to 4.
- The moment a player manages to have 3 eggs hatch into chicks, he becomes a winner!
