Who it's for

Fans of tight abstract puzzle games who enjoy pattern-building and spatial planning without direct player conflict.

Not for you if…

You want a game with real interaction or confrontation between players – Hens plays out mostly in parallel, each player solving their own barnyard puzzle.

Vibe's take

Quiet and puzzly – there's little direct conflict, just the satisfying tension of fitting hens into a layout that keeps rewarding careful, forward-looking placement.

About this game

Hens is a puzzly card game about building the most harmonious barnyard of hen breeds you can. Each round you play a hen card into your growing layout, following a handful of simple placement rules, but the real challenge is clustering same-breed hens into big, scoring groups. Rare hens hand out medals, and your rooster and goal card add extra scoring on top.
