About Henhouse

Hen House is a climbing/shedding card game in which players attempt to get rid of all the cards in their hands. Cards come in four suits: white eggs, white chickens, brown eggs, and brown chickens. Chickens can be combined with chickens, eggs can be combined with Eggs, white cards can be combined with white cards, and brown cards can be combined with brown cards. To shed cards, you can use animals that can help, like snakes that can eat eggs and foxes that can eat chickens. The player who plays all of their cards first wins. —description from the publisher
