Build a preserve beside your friends
You each grow a network of wildlife preserves across forest, field and coastline. On your turn you play a bird, take food from the feeder, lay eggs or draw cards, and each bird you add makes that habitat action stronger. Hawks hunt, pelicans fish, geese form a flock, and chained powers trigger down the row. Points come from birds, bonus cards and end-of-round goals, so there is always another small plan to compare across the table.
Slow cards, real birdsong, gentle rivalry
The game is calm by design. The birds are animated, with real-life sound recordings and trivia to browse, and there is no way to harm another player's flock. You compete only to have the better-matched collection of birds in a limited number of turns. Single-player and multiplayer modes cover up to five, including local multiplayer and co-op, which fits a small group sharing one relaxed evening better than a loud crowd of twelve.
What should party crowds know?
How many people can play together?
Up to five can compete to build their preserves, in single-player and multiplayer modes, with local multiplayer and co-op listed. That fits a quiet evening with three or four friends, not the usual 3 to 12 party crowd.
Can you play it solo?
Yes. There is a single-player mode against AI, plus an Automa-style solo option carried over from the board game, where you play against a pre-set deck under specific rules.
Is it easy to learn?
The rules are fairly involved at first, with food costs, nests, eggs, wingspans and habitat actions to track. The tutorial walks through the basics, and starting against the AI on low difficulty is a sensible way to learn before bringing friends in.
What do you actually do on a turn?
You choose one of four actions: play a bird into forest, field or coastline by paying its food, gain food from the feeder dice, lay eggs on nests, or draw bird cards. More birds in a habitat mean stronger actions there, and many birds add powers that fire when that row activates.
