Кто в яйце? ("Who's in the Egg?") is a cooperative children's educational game where kids work together to remember the positions of eggs, help the chicks hatch, match baby and parent pairs, and complete fun tasks.
The box turns into a cozy nest for Antoinette the Hen, and a special hatching device lets children personally take part in the hatching process and find out who has been born. To do this, the child picks any egg on the table and tosses it into the top slot of the device; inside, the token flips over, and a chick falls into the nest. Then all that's left is to find its parents!
The game has 3 difficulty levels. Toddlers from age 2 help hens of different colors find their chicks. For children from age 3, other birds and their young are added, along with an action die. At the third difficulty level, not only birds come to Antoinette's nursery, because some animals also lay eggs. The new nursery residents add fun tasks to the game.
Depending on the chosen difficulty level, players prepare the egg tokens and parent cards. The eggs are placed face down on the table, and the parents are placed in a stack, with one card revealed. Players assemble the nest box.
Players take turns rolling the die, performing the action shown, and hatching any one egg. In the version for the littlest ones, players simply pick up one of the eggs on the table without using the die.
To hatch an egg, the player chooses one of the egg tokens and, without peeking, tosses it into the top slot of the nest, then looks to see who has hatched.
If a chick hatches whose parent is shown on the revealed card, the baby runs home to mom or dad. Then a new parent card is revealed, and play passes to the next player.
If a different chick hatches (not matching the revealed parent), the egg is returned to its spot shell side up. Players try to remember where that egg lies.
If one of the unusual babies hatches (echidna, platypus, snake, turtle, chameleon, or little dinosaur), you must complete one of the tasks to cheer up that baby.
If a little crocodile hatches, you must place it in a separate basket.
The players win as soon as all the babies have found their parents, before there are 3 little crocodiles in the basket.
