• Gameplay

  • The game is played over 4 rounds, with players taking turns in clockwise order until all their action cubes are used (a round).

    On a turn, you have 4 options for the actions you can take.

  • Play a Bird
    • 1. Select a bird in hand to play and place an action cube at the top of the column where you will play the bird.
      2. Pay any egg cost for that column by discarding the designated number of eggs from any bird on your player mat.
      3. Pay the food cost for the bird as is listed in top left by returning these tokens to the supply.
         • If there is a "⦸" symbol, there is no food cost.
         • If there is a symbol, any food token can be used.
         • If there is a "/" separating multiple food tokens, any of the specified tokens can be used.
      4. Place the bird on the leftmost exposed (no bird there) slot in the corresponding habitat shown in the top left of the card, then move your action cube to the left side of the "play a bird" row.
         • If multiple habitats are shown, you can choose which habitat, of those shown, to place the bird in.
      5. If a bird has a "when played" power, you may use that power now. Other powers are activated at other times.
  • Gain Food
    • 1. Place an action cube in the leftmost exposed (no bird) slot in the "gain food" row and gain the amount of food shown from dice you select in the bird feeder.
         • Remove the die from the bird feeder when selecting that food.
         • If the die shows on it, you may take 1 of the pictured items, not both.
         • If the bird feeder is ever empty while choosing food, throw all 5 dice back in the bird feeder.
         • If all the remaining dice in the feeder show the same face (even if it's 1 die) and you are about to gain food for any reason, you may 1st throw all 5 dice back in the feeder.
           • Note that the die face is unique!
         • There is no limit to the number of food tokens you can have or in the supply.
      2. If the slot your cube is on allows you to trade in a card for food, you may discard a card to take an additional food die.
      3. From right to left, you may now activate brown bird powers in the forest. All powers are optional. To better track your activations, move the cube to each card you are activating until you are done and the cube is placed on the left side of the "gain food" row.
  • Lay Eggs
    • 1. Place an action cube in the leftmost exposed (no bird) slot in the "lay eggs" row and lay that amount of eggs.
         • For each egg to be layed, take an egg from the supply (color doesn't matter) and place it on any bird that is not at its egg limit.
         • Any excess eggs (all birds are full) are discarded.
      2. If the slot allows you to trade a food token ( symbol) for an egg, you may pay 1 food token to place 1 additional egg.
      3. From right to left, you may now activate brown bird powers in the grassland. All powers are optional. To better track your activations, move the cube to each card you are activating until you are done and the cube is placed on the left side of the "lay eggs" row.
  • Draw Bird Cards
    • 1. Place an action cube in the leftmost exposed (no bird) slot in the "draw cards" row and draw the number of cards shown from either the face up cards on the tray or from the top of the deck.
         • There is no hand limit.
         • Face up cards are not immediately replaced. This is done at the end of the turn.
      2. If the slot allows you to trade an egg for a card, you may discard 1 egg from any bird and draw an additional card.
      3. From right to left, you may now activate brown bird powers in the wetlands. All powers are optional. To better track your activations, move the cube to each card you are activating until you are done and the cube is placed on the left side of the "draw cards" row.
      4. Replace any taken face up cards in the tray from the top of the deck.
• End of Round

  • When all action cubes have been placed by all players, the round ends. Do the following, in order:

    1. Remove all action cubes from your player mat.
    2. Score the end of round goal for the round just completed.
       • Use 1 of your action cubes to mark your score on the goal card, even if it's zero points. Note that this means everyone will have 1 fewer action cube for the next round.
       • Green side: Place cubes in order of who had the highest quantity of the targeted item.
         • If players tie, place both cubes on the tied position and do not reward the next place. See End of Game for how these score.
       • Blue side: Place cubes corresponding to the quantity of the targeted item that each player achieved, up to the max of 5.
         • Remember to still place a cube on zero if no targeted items were achieved.
    3. Discard all face up bird cards on the bird tray and refill the tray from the deck.
    4. Give the 1st player token to the next person in clockwise order.
• End of Game

  • After 4 rounds have been completed, score the following points.

    • Points printed on each face up bird on your player mat.
    • Points for each bonus card as is printed on the card.
    • Points for the end of round goals (on the goal board).
      • If players are tied on a space, add the points for the space
      • the next space and divide by the number of players (rounded down) and all tied players receive that many points.
    • 1 point each for:
      • egg on a bird card
      • food token cached on a bird card
      • card tucked under a bird card

    The player with the most points wins. If there is a tie, the player with the most unused food tokens wins. If still tied, the players share the victory.

• Bird Powers
  • • When Activated (Brown): These are the powers that are activated when using the corresponding habitat.
      • Cache: This means you put a food token on the bird. You cannot spend that food token! It is worth 1 VP at the end of the game.
    • Once Between Turns (Pink): These powers may be triggered on opponents' turns. You can only use a pink power once between each of your own turns.
    • When Played (White): These powers may only be activated when the bird is played into your habitat and never again.
