Setup: Each player receives eight action cubes, five random birds, one food of each of the five types, and two bonus cards. Discard one food for each bird kept, and keep one bonus card. Choose a goal-board side, assign four random round goals, display three birds, and roll the food dice.

Turns: Proceed clockwise, spending one cube to play a bird, gain food, lay eggs, or draw birds. For the latter three actions, take the benefit of that row’s leftmost exposed space, perform its optional conversion, then resolve brown powers from right to left. Leave the cube at the left edge.

Play a bird: Pay its food and column’s egg cost, then place it in the leftmost open space of a matching habitat, with at most five birds per row. Column one costs no eggs, columns two and three cost one, and columns four and five cost two. Only its white power activates; the whole row does not. Only when paying to play a bird may any two food substitute for one required food.

Forest food action: Select birdfeeder dice one at a time, gaining one matching food per die; the invertebrate/seed face offers a choice of one. If the action space allows, discard at most one hand card for an extra food. Reroll all five dice whenever the feeder empties. When about to gain food, you may also reroll all five if the remaining dice show the same face.

Grassland egg action: Place the shown number of eggs on any of your birds without exceeding each bird’s egg limit; excess eggs that cannot fit are lost. If the action space allows, pay at most one food for an extra egg. Eggs support bird placement and score at game end.

Wetland card action: Draw the shown number of birds from the three face-up cards or deck top. If the action space allows, discard at most one egg to draw another card. There is no hand limit; refill the display at turn end and reshuffle discards if the deck runs out. White powers occur when played, brown powers during row activation, and each pink power at most once between your turns when triggered. Powers are optional.

Round end: Once all players have used their cubes, retrieve cubes, score that round’s goal, and leave one cube each on the goal board. Replace the face-up birds and pass first player clockwise. Each player therefore has eight, seven, six, then five turns. Green goals score by rank only with at least one qualifying item; divide tied places’ combined points and round down. Zero items score zero. Blue goals score one per item, capped at five per round.

Final scoring: After round four, total printed bird points, bonus cards, and round goals, plus one point per egg on birds, cached food, and tucked card. Highest score wins; ties go to the most unused food beside the mat, then remain shared.
