How to use

Set up the game by shuffling the bird cards, placing resource tokens and arranging habitat areas according to the rulebook.

Track scoring between rounds and adjust tactics based on opponents' moves and available cards. The game proceeds through a fixed number of rounds until final scoring determines the winner.

Usage recommendations

For balanced play, review the rulebook’s suggested setup for different player counts and use the recommended starting layout. New players benefit from a shorter introduction round focused on basic card plays and resource allocation before a full game. Store components in separate bags or trays to protect cards and keep resources organized between sessions.
