Become birds that have taken an interest in small objects, for whatever bird-related reason you may have. Flip and move the cards with your fingers or the included ‘beak’ tweezers to find what you want and to cover your opponents’ cards. Uncover other birds’ nests to learn their goals and steal their coveted treasures.

On a turn, the player must flip (‘peck’) a card – defined as lifting it, turning it over and then putting it down. This can be done chaotically or with great care, by flipping, pushing and otherwise disturbing cards and feather tokens on the playmat. Once that is done, the player chooses any card to keep that is not covered by another card, and takes all the feathers it touches. Most cards have abilities and combination effects, and as the pile shrinks, the players will uncover each other’s hidden nests. Uncover a nest to steal from that player, and flip cards to cover your own. As the pile dwindles, theft, blocking and chain actions become decisive, as each of you fights for as many points as possible, topped with bonus points from the type of bird you were secretly playing as.

Get in touch with your inner crow brain and peck your way to victory (and the shiny collection of rubbish).
