Considered light to medium weight, this card mechanism, engine building game pits between one and five players to attract beautiful bird species to their wildlife reserves. Spread across three habitats namely forest, wetland and grassland that house these birds, the game lays down in front of its fans, a wide aura of artwork that gorgeously describes the terrains, bird species, food tokens and egg miniatures. Spread across a competitive span of four rounds, players can perform one of the following to proceed in the game. Obtain food tokens by rolling the custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower (we bet you want to try this once, the sheer fun of rolling dice down the tower, is a gameplay element seldom seen in other board games!), help the birds lay eggs in a variety of colours or draw from about 170 different bird cards and make progress.

During the course of the game, you also gain points over your opponents based on egg miniatures collected, food and cards you get through other cards, which represent food collection and predation by your bird collection in the reserve. A typical bird card describes the bird’s common and scientific names, explains the terrain & food types, announces the points accumulated by it and also has a special power/event that gets activated when hosting the bird in your reserve. The individual player boards, again are beautifully designed and have three dedicated rows for feeding, laying eggs and drawing bird cards.
