Birdwatcher is a fast-paced, competitive game where you take on the role of a wildlife photographer on the hunt for elusive birds of paradise. Each player has three actions per turn, which can be used to lure birds from the jungle to your tree, snap photos of those birds, or run into the jungle to bring new birds to the clearing. You can also use your actions to set up a zoom lens to capture birds from another player's tree or publish a scientific paper. Photos and publications are arranged in your photo journal, where they will score points at the end of the game. With mechanics like hand management, set collection, and a touch of push-your-luck, Birdwatcher is an engaging experience for nature and strategy lovers.
