About the game

What is Birdscaping?

Birdscaping is an 18-card game in which players compete to get the best and greatest number of birds to join their backyard bird sanctuary. Discard cards from your hand and activate cards in your tableau to make improvements to your yard features (pond, garden and trees) as you attract curious birds into your tableau. Work to play higher-cost cards as you build up your engines to gain food, nesting areas, and the attention of curious birds. Birdscaping is a game for 1 to 2 players and plays in about 15 minutes per player. It uses familiar Euro mechanisms including engine building, tableau building, hand management and card drafting. Birdscaping is available print-on-demand on thegamecrafter.com. You can also get the print-and-play files for free here in the files section or at pnparcade.com. —description from the designer
