About the game
What you do in a play session
This is a fast-paced game, the kind you can play anywhere, but don't let the short playtime fool you. You'll need an elephant's memory (or a pigeon's, in this case) to remember who played what and when. Hand management is crucial: deciding which card to play, which to keep, and when to push your luck to get rid of a liability in your hand is what separates rookie pigeons from veterans.
There are plenty of 'take that' cards to mess with your rivals and a touch of 'push your luck' that can either save you or sink you. Secret unit deployment adds a layer of bluffing and surprise, because you never know which pigeon will attack or defend. It's a game that sparks laughter, shouts, and plenty of friendly taunting among players. Perfect for warming up the night or for a quick, fun break. Whoever has the cleanest hand at the end, when someone knocks to initiate the final round, is the champion. But don't slip up, the Federal Police (or the neighbors, who knows) might knock on the door at any moment!
