Save the Birds!

Thank you for volunteering at the bird sanctuary! You’ll need to work together to handle the flock and keep those nervous birds calm while they rehabilitate. Good luck!

What Is It?

✨Theme – Birds!
🎯The Goal of the game is to earn as many medals as you can by balancing birds
⚙️Cooperative – Players work together
⚙️Dexterity/Balancing – Players will be balancing birds on their hands/fingers and need to hit a certain number in order to score. If they drop any, they get no points that turn!

Who Is It For?

👥2 to 8 Players – Only one person is balancing at a time and everyone else takes turn placing a bird. Works fine at any count
👥Ages 7 & Up – Fun toy factor; understanding the rules/gameplay is very approachable
👥Fans of cooperative games, and balancing/dexterity

PROS

🟢Aesthetics – Pieces look cool, cards have nice art, and it’s fun to take pictures of everyone playing
🟢Components – Nice quality pieces
🟢The toy factor is fun and unique
🟢Everyone is involved and invested at all times
🟢Rules are well written and clear

CONS

🔴It’s very difficult. It says to make your best effort to make the various hand gestures, but sometimes it just feels impossible depending on where your hands were before — getting to 9/10/11 birds in a round is unheard of for us!

Final Thoughts

It’s a light and silly kind of game that doesn’t take too long. It can sometimes devolve into more of an activity early on, as you’re just starting and learning how to position things, you may end up ignoring the scoring while you just try to get good at the balancing portion. Most balancing games I’ve played usually involve balancing or stacking on the table, so this was definitely unique, and it was fun and entertaining to watch players balance and try not to drop any little birds! As with any party-ish games, it’s fun with the right group.
