Nobody but Us Chickens

About this board game

Nobody But Us Chickens is a fast-paced simultaneous action selection card game for 3–6 players that plays in about 20 minutes. Set at sunset in Littleton, Kentucky, it challenges players to decide whether to send predators after chickens or protect the coop with a loyal guard dog.

After a hard day of scratching, pecking, and egg laying, Farmer Johnson’s chickens are ready to return to the coop. Unfortunately, a pack of foxes has discovered the opportunity, and rats are ready to sneak in as well. The predators will snatch every chicken they can—even if the foxes need to make more than one trip.

Players make their choices simultaneously, creating a lively contest full of surprises. You can earn points by capturing chickens with foxes and rats, or by protecting chickens with your guard dog. The central decision is simple to understand, but the outcome can change quickly as everyone reveals their actions.

• Players: 3–6
• Play time: 20 minutes
• Core mechanic: simultaneous action selection
• Ways to score: capture chickens with predators or protect them with a guard dog

Will the loyal guard dogs save the chickens from the foxes, or will a rat slip into the coop and take the best chicken for itself? In Nobody But Us Chickens, every player’s decision helps determine who gets the points before the night’s struggle is over.
