46 HOW TO PLAY THE GAME
47 ====================
48
49 Save the chickens!
50
51 The aim of the game is to make as much money as possible from your chicken
52 farm. The problem is the foxes, which want to eat your chickens. Since hiring
53 guards is both too expensive and unreliable, the obvious solution is to help
54 the chickens defend themselves.
55
56 You lose if you end a night with no chickens left.
57
58 Depending on the game length you select, you win if you survive for two weeks,
59 three months or until you have chopped down all the trees in the forest and
60 caused the complete extinction of the fox population.
61
62 Chickens only lay eggs in henhouses, and must stay on the egg for 2 days to
63 hatch a new chicken. Chickens that hatch in already full henhouses are
64 moved to just outside. If there is no space outside, they die immediately
65 from overcrowding.
