BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

What to know

If you like building combinations, the bird cards give you plenty to plan around. Read their effects before committing to a habitat. The publisher lists 40–70 minutes in its specifications and 40–90 in its description; the finder allows up to 90. Solo play has its own opponent rules.

Learning the rules

You need to learn the habitat actions and read how the bird cards work together.

Planning your time

Allow extra time to set up, explain the rules, and pack away.
