KUNG PAO CHICKEN is a 3 to 5 player 15 min social deduction party game. A fun filler for everyone from age 8 and up. Each game is played in three rounds. In every round, each player needs to figure out if they are a chicken or a fox.

If you are a chicken, your team of chickens will score based on number of saved chickens. Foxes will score based on number of captured chickens. At the end of three rounds, the player with most vp wins the game. Please note: There are only three animals in this 18 card game.
