'''Fowl Play''' is a Duel [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.


==Gameplay==
==Overview==
In this mini-game players must follow the chicken's tracks and catch it in 60 seconds; if one of the players gets too close to the chicken, the chicken will try to run away. The first player who catches the chicken wins, and if no one catches the chicken, the game ends in a draw.
Both players try to catch a chicken first before time runs out. If a player gets too close, the chicken runs off. Whoever fulfills the objective first wins, but if neither player does before time runs out, it is a draw.
