In a competition to rob the most money from the bank, you will need to make preparations, manage risks and make informed decisions to come out on top. With unpredictable events coming up that may get you locked up, would you take the time to prepare for what’s coming next, or would you continue to rob? Leave with the getaway truck and you will get a split of the loot. Stay too long however, you will leave with nothing but a life behind bars. In a high risk high reward setting, who is the ultimate chicken? Who will be the first to chicken out? You or your friends?

Chicken Heist is a Press Your Luck Card game inspired by the game of chicken. Players must leverage all their moves from getting more information by Lookout, manipulating events by Tinkering, getting more tools via Resupply to simply making more money by Robbing to ensure that they safely exit the heist with the most amount of loot possible. 3-8 players can play and an average game runs anywhere from 15-45 minutes.

Great game!

A great shedding game where you play poker hands and power cards.

Nightfall Lite but Not Nightfall 2.0

If you liked Nightfall, but thought individual creature combat was too tedious? You'll probably like this.

If you liked Nightfall but thought the game was too slow to ramp up, or too long to finish/hand out all wounds, you'll like this.

If you thought Nightfall's "Private Archive" claims ended to overpower the game based on luck of the draw, you'll like Unchained's 3x3 market grid.
-----
As far as deck builders go, I like Unchained. It will take awhile to really know the card power combos. The symbols look overwhelming at first, but are kind of intuitive once you're used to how the cards work. Combat is total offense vs total defense and result is one fatigue (wound). So no MTG-ish "creature 1 attacks player B and creature 2 takes 3 wounds against player C." It does speed up and simplify the game a lot. The 3x3 card market is brilliant. You can get cards you want and/or clear out cards you don't want your opponents to get. Much more variety of cards to cycle through than 8+2 archives = 10 cards to choose from per game.

Solid 4/5 all around. I'd give 5/5 if there was a happy medium in combat between Nightfall and Unchained. Not as super simplified as Unchained, but not like Nightfall's individual cards combat. Maybe a power on some cards "stays in play after combat" so there's a larger chance of different strategies than "I punch you, you punch me, repeat"
