The Bird Told Me to Do It
Players build a twisting, branching tree from cards in hand, adding birds of different colors to its limbs. Each card shows a bird instruction, and playing a card activates the instructions on every card from the trunk to that card. These effects can draw cards, collect colored plumage, score cards, add or remove cards, or strengthen later actions. When a branch is completed, the color with the most birds scores for the player holding that color’s plumage. Cards of the same color enhance one another, allowing linked effects and extended turns.

Pahn4.6 A quick, light game. I enjoyed my play, and I'm willing to keep it around due to its small size and that quick play.
