+Introduction:
+
+The aim of the game is to make as much money as possible from your chicken
+farm. The problem is the foxes, which want to eat your chickens.  Since hiring
+guards is both too expensive and unreliable, the obvious solution is to help
+the chickens defend themselves.
+
+Game mechanics:
+
+You lose if you end a night with no chickens left.
+
+You win if you survive 14 nights.
+
+Chickens only lay eggs in henhouses, and must stay on the egg for 2 days to
+hatch a new chicken. Chickens that hatch in already full henhouses die
+immediately from overcrowding.
