Overview

Birdscaping is an 18-card game in which players compete to get the best and greatest number of birds to join their backyard bird sanctuary. Discard cards from your hand and activate cards in your tableau to make improvements to your yard features (pond, garden and trees) as you attract curious birds into your tableau. Work to play higher-cost cards as you build up your engines to gain food, nesting areas, and the attention of curious birds.

Birdscaping is a game for 1 to 2 players and plays in about 15 minutes per player. It uses familiar Euro mechanisms including engine building, tableau building, hand management and card drafting.

NOTE: Birdscaping is a fan-made project inspired by Wingspan, but is not an official Wingspan product. Stonemaier Games, Wingspan's publisher, has generously helped me ensure I post Birdscaping in a way that does not infringe on any Wingspan or Stonemaier properties.
