Become birds who have gained an interest in small objects for whatever bird-related reason you may have. Flip and move cards using your fingers or the provided ‘beak’ tweezers to find what you want and cover the cards of your opponents. Reveal the nests of other birds to learn their goals and steal their coveted treasures. On a turn, the player must flip ('peck') a card- defined as lifting, flipping, then setting it down. This can be done chaotically or with great care, flipping, pushing, and otherwise disturbing cards and feather tokens on the playmat. Once done, the player chooses any card to keep that is not covered by another card, taking any feathers it is touching. Most cards have abilities and combo effects, and as the pile shrinks, players will uncover each other's hidden nests. Uncover a nest to steal from that player, and flip cards to cover up your own. As the pile dwindles, stealing, blocking, and chaining actions becomes critical as you each race to get the most points possible, topped off with bonus points from the type of bird you were secretly playing as. Get in touch with your inner crowbrain and peck your way to victory (and the shiniest collection of trash)!
