General
A round ends when a player hits the pile.
Once the pile is hit, a point in earned if one of these conditions are met:
- The egg count is 5 or more.
- The cock card is on top, and the player can give the correct egg count.
A game ends when a player has won a predetermined number of rounds (usually 3). A player can be eliminated from the game if his score reaches -3.
The deck is shuffled before starting each round.
