It’s a mess on the farm! All the animals on the farm need to be safely back in their own pastures before dark. But the animals have run in all directions. Make sure all the animals end up in the right meadow again. Sometimes the fences are moved, and you have to adjust your route. And beware: All animals must be inside before it gets dark, otherwise everyone loses! Can you be the first to get your animals into their own field?
Chaos at the Farm won the jury prize of Toy of the Year 2023. You can play the game cooperatively (discussing what the smartest move is) or competitively (making it difficult for the other players by cleverly shifting the route). With 25 robust, wooden animals that you can also just play with without playing the game.
Game rules

In the competitive version, you all have your own animals, which have to go to your own meadow. If you do it fastest, you have won the game. Again, you have to watch out for the fences; other players can make your route longer, or more difficult. But you can do the same to them…
