How this Chicken Road hatchery picks three cards

The shortlist is three because that is enough to show a hop, a farm, and an idle battle without turning the page into a catalogue. I weighed four things on 9 October 2026, and I left two things alone.

What was weighed

• The listing’s own words put a chicken in the name or the opening lines.
• The card is on Google Play and shows a public rating, a review count, and a download band.
• The price model is marked as ads and in-app purchases, so the three cards can sit in one table.
• The loop is different from the other two. A second hop would not have earned a row.

What was not weighed

I did not score “fun”, and I did not invent a file size. Crossy Road Castle and Chicken Invaders were looked at as names and left off without a fact line, because their counters were not copied onto this pass. Order follows the listing’s own subject first (a road, then a farm, then a battle) and the public download band second (100M+, 10M+, 50K+).

The reading date on every card is 9 October 2026. A later store edit is not silently folded in.
