Tastes Like Chicken Rulebook

Table of Contents

58 Cards (54 Wacky Animal Cards, 4 Wild Rooster Cards)

Be the first player to get rid of all your cards.

Shuffle and deal 7 cards to each player.
Place the rest of the deck facedown near the center of the playing area to form the Draw Pile.
Turn over the top card, and place it near the Draw Pile. This becomes the Discard Pile. If the Draw Pile runs out before the game ends, shuffle the Discard Pile to form a new Draw Pile.

The youngest player goes first, and play passes to the left.
On your turn, play one card from your hand that matches one of the two animals on the top card of the Discard Pile. For example, if a Shark-Snake is on top of the Discard Pile, the player can play any card that has either shark or snake parts and then says the name of the Wacky Animal. So if you played a Cow-Snake card, you'd say "Cow-Snake" as you play the card.
If you don't have a playable card, you must say: "Tastes Like _____," filling in the blank with something yucky. So you could say: "Tastes Like Dirt" or "Tastes Like Cardboard." Then you must draw a card from the Draw Pile. If you draw a playable card, play it right away. If not, your turn ends.

Chicken: If you play a card that is part chicken, you say: "Tastes Like Chicken." The next player then draws a card and skips his or her turn.
Pig: If you play a card that is part pig, you say: "Tastes Like Pig." Now you can play a second card of any animal from your hand. It does not have to match. If you play another Pig Card, you do not get another turn. If you play a Chicken Card on your extra turn, the next player does not have to draw a card and skip his or her turn.
Wild Rooster: You can play a Wild Rooster Card on top of any card. You then decide what animal card the next player must match, and the game play reverses. For example, if you played a Wild Rooster Card and said "Shark," the next player, going in reverse order, would have to play a card that has a shark on it.

If you're the first player to get rid of all your cards, you're the winner!
