Players take the role of birds searching a messy pile of small objects and trinkets. On a turn a player must lift, flip, and set down a card (a “peck”), using fingers or the included tweezers, then claim any uncovered card that is not covered by another card and collect any adjacent feather tokens. Cards often grant abilities and combos that trigger when revealed; players use flipping and careful placement to uncover opponents’ hidden nest cards and to cover their own. As the shared pile shrinks, players steal from others, block selections, and chain actions to build the highest-scoring collection, with endgame bonuses determined by each player’s secret bird type.
