Birdscaping

Birdscaping is an 18-card game for 1 to 2 players 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.

A Satisfying Engine-Building Experience in Just 30 Minutes

Build a combo-driven tableau of beautiful birds and powerful abilities. Enjoy familiar Euro mechanisms, but in a streamlined experience with minimal components.

Looks Pretty. Plays Crunchy.

Don't let all the pretty birds fool you. Birdscaping offers a satisfying optimization puzzle. But, it still manages to be accessible to new gamers. This game is as competitive as you want to make it.

Find Your Favorite Strategies

Should you build out your feature rows equally? That seems economical. Maybe you want to specialize in food or nesting areas to try to get out high-point birds late game? Or spend your resources building up your pond row, setting up for one or two massive game-winning turns at the end? Or perhaps you want to build a combo-tastic tableau with chaining effects to maximize every turn?

Maximum Portability

It's literally just 18 cards and a hook box. No cubes. No tokens. Carry it in your backpack. Leave a copy in your car. Stick it in the pocket of your super cool cargo shorts.

Yes, It Fits on an Airplane Tray

Get a big gaming experience with minimal table space required. My wife and I routinely play on our tiny coffee table after the kids are in bed.

Solo Play Included!

I wouldn't leave my solo brethren wanting. Birdscaping has a built-in, quick-playing solo mode. Compete against a bot that's easy to run--but hard to beat.

Why No Physical Rulebook?

Birdscaping is provided without a physical rulebook to save the customer money. Rulebooks are an expensive component and I prefer to offer the game at a low price so players can enjoy the game affordably. You can download the rules for free on this shop page.
