Setup

Each player takes a player mat and 8 action cubes (place 1 on each action row). Shuffle the bird deck and deal 5 to each player. Place the bird tray with 3 face-up cards. Set out food tokens and egg tokens. Choose a round goal from the 4 available.

How to Play

  1. On your turn, take one action: play a bird from your hand by paying its food cost and placing an egg, gain food from the birdfeeder dice, lay eggs on your birds, or draw bird cards (1 from tray or 2 from deck).
  2. Each action triggers the row from left to right.
  3. When you play a bird, its brown power activates immediately and on future turns when that row is used.
  4. After 4 rounds (each with fewer turns), the game ends.

Winning the Game

Add points from bird cards (printed value), bonus cards (end-of-round goals), eggs on birds, cached food, and tucked cards. Highest total wins.
