About Fowl Play!

Each player uses their fox to capture some of each of the types of fowl (chickens, ducks, geese and turkey) that are found in the farmyard. Players gain points for the fowl they have captured and also for saving from capture those fowl that share one or more of the same characteristics as their chosen target card. Each round every player chooses to play one of their three fowl cards to determine turn order and which of the fowl counters a player can move.
