What's in the Box?
🏁 The Board
Two joined 5×6 blue plastic egg cartons forming a 30-cell grid — your battlefield.
🥚 Colored Eggs (per 2-player game)
| 🟢 | 13 Green eggs |
| 🩷 | 13 Pink/Magenta eggs |
| + | Extra colors for 3–4 players |
🪿 Gold Goose Eggs
Shiny gold eggs placed before play begins. They permanently block spaces and never score.
💥 Cracked Blockers
Open cracked shells placed during play after scoring a 4- or 5-row. 1 cracked egg = 2 blocked spots permanently.
Setup
Step 1 — Place Gold Goose Eggs (Neutral Blockers)
Before the game begins, players alternate placing gold goose eggs on any empty cells. These permanently block those spaces for the entire game.
🪿 Goose Eggs to Place
| 2 Players | 4 goose eggs total |
| 3 Players | 3 goose eggs total |
| 4 Players | 2 goose eggs total |
🥚 Colored Eggs Per Player
| 2 Players | 13 eggs each |
| 3 Players | 12 eggs each |
| 4 Players | 10 eggs each |
Step 2 — Choose Your Color
Each player picks a color. Decide who goes first, then play clockwise.
Objective
Take turns placing eggs. Score points by completing straight lines of 3, 4, or 5 eggs of your color horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The first player to reach 12 points wins — or, if all eggs are placed first, the player with the highest score wins.
Scoring — Eggsample!
On your turn, place an egg. If you complete a straight line of 3, 4, or 5 of your own eggs — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — you score. Here's every situation you'll encounter, in order.
✅ Basic Lines — Any Direction Counts
⚡ Combos — Two Complete Lines at Once = 2 Points
A Combo scores when one egg completes two separate 3-in-a-row lines simultaneously. Each line must have all 3 eggs — the shared egg counts for both. Score 1 pt per line = 2 pts total.
💥 Cracking — 4 or 5-in-a-Row Blocks the Board
Score 4 or 5 in a row and you get to crack eggs — permanently blocking spots to shut down your opponent. Cracking happens in two steps per egg: place the 1st half inside the scored line, then place the 2nd half in any adjacent cell (up, down, left, or right). Only valid cells are selectable at each step.
② Adjacent cells glow — pick one for the 2nd half
✓ 1 cracked egg = 2 spots permanently blocked
③④ Whole process repeats for the 2nd cracked egg
✓ 2 cracked eggs = 4 spots permanently blocked
🚫 What Breaks Your Line
Any egg or blocker that isn't yours in the middle of a line breaks it. No score on either side.
