Attract the right partner
Your task is to find the ideal nesting partner in the roles of strange birds. Each bird has a single suitable mate of the opposite sex, and your job is to use imitation bird calls to indicate to the others who you have on your hands. The game is played in real time and all players make sounds simultaneously. When a match is found and the two birds "mate", their owners will get the eggs. And that is the goal of the game, to collect as many eggs as possible. Cards with successful pairs remain on the table and players get new birds for their hand. All this is done without any spoken communication, only with sounds and gestures.
Collect as many eggs as possible
The game is further enriched by special birds with different abilities. For example, the Repeater can mimic the lure of another player and confuse him, the Thief will try to steal an egg subtly, and the Hawkman will scatter the game by forcing the players to silence and discard their cards. Also interesting are some species of common birds, the Warbler is mute and communicates only by waving, the Pigeon Guillemot has multiple individuals of the same sex, which makes it difficult to find the right mate. The game ends when the supply runs out of eggs. The winner is the player who has collected the most of them. In the event of a tie, the number of cards remaining in the hand determines the tie, the fewer the better.
