What The Hen!
The golden-egg hen is gone, the portal is shut, and the old wizard is not happy. His lazy students let the magic chicken escape, so now they have to chase it across wild lands packed with goofy enemies and loud clashes. In the strategy game What The Hen!, you lead this chaotic rescue squad, pushing through orcs, dwarves, elves, and other locals just to grab that feathered jackpot back. The whole story keeps leaning into jokes and parody-style fantasy, from the weird heroes to the trash-talking foes. Battles turn into short, card-based skirmishes where units rush straight down the lane and crash into whoever stands in front of them. As you clear stages, open treasure chests, and collect new cards, your crew grows from random rookies into a stronger, more upgraded deck.
How to play?
Finish the quick tutorial first, because it shows how the card system and mana work in this strategy game. Drag a hero card from your hand onto the battlefield, and that unit marches forward automatically, targeting enemies in its path. Send tanky fighters out front to soak up damage so fragile allies do not fall instantly. Keep archers and other ranged units in the back line, where they can deal steady damage without getting deleted in one clash. Watch your energy bar before dropping cards, since every summon spends a chunk of that resource. Energy refills over time, so wait a few seconds before launching a bigger push with several units at once. Tap your spell cards when the lane gets crowded to blast groups of enemies or help clear a dangerous wave. Each win pays out coins and loot, which you invest into leveling heroes or unlocking fresh cards for your deck.
Experiment with different mixes of tanks, damage dealers, and spells to counter orcs, dwarves, and elves more efficiently. Swap cards between matches to test new lineups in duels against real players. Keep grinding levels, pop open those chests, and tune your What The Hen card deck for the next weird showdown over that runaway chicken.
