The game includes 55 double-nine dominoes, a domino centerpiece, and rules to ChickenFoot and other domino games including a solitaire dominoes game.

Chickenfoot itself is at heart a tile laying network game. Where you start with a double domino. You play 10 rounds, each round starts with a different double domino working your way down from double-nine to double-blank. You must first fill the double chickenfoot with the 8 tiles that go around it. If you can't fill you must draw a new tile, it is like Uno in this aspect. Once the chickenfoot is played you may play a new domino, either putting a number against a number or playing a double tile in a T arrangement across another domino, this becomes a new chickenfoot and must be filled before continuing, a player draws a tile if they can't finish the Chickenfoot. The round ends when one player has no tile, or there are no tiles left to play on a chickenfoot.

A fun game that can be played by gamers and non-gamers alike.
