About the game

What you do in a play session

In *The Bird*, you and your friends are volunteers at a bird sanctuary, working together to calm nervous birds as they are introduced to the flock. One player takes on the role of *The Handler*, using their hands to balance incoming birds. The other players draw cards and, following The Handler's signal, try to add their birds to the group without letting everything topple. The game blends strategy, luck, and physical skill, as you need to decide when to push your luck and how to maintain balance. With *Push Your Luck* and *Stacking and Balancing* mechanics, *The Bird* is perfect for players who enjoy fun challenges and group interaction. Get ready for lots of laughs and some tense moments as you try to keep the flock together!
