Description

Everyone loves a good selfie and birds are no exception ! These birds happily hop from wire to wire before immortalizing their poses in crazy and clever snapshots.

Classic game rules :
- Object of the Game : Win the most points by recreating the bird’s poses from the Selfie cards on the wire.

- Playing the game:
The player who can do the best bird call plays first and play then continues clockwise.
Sort the Selfie cards by the level indicated on the back of the card (2/3/4/5 birds) and put them into 4 separate, easy to reach piles.
Deal one Level 2 card, one Level 3 card and 3 eggs to each player. Put the remaining eggs in a reserve next to the Selfie cards.
The game has 2 main phases :
• PERCH AND POSE
THEN
• FLYING THE NEST.

- End of the game :
The game ends when there are no birds left on the wires.
Count the number of points shown on your completed Selfie cards, and score 1 point per unspent egg.
The player(s) with the most points win.

Cooperative rules:
Playing in cooperative mode allows you to challenge yourselves further. Most of the rules are the same, but there are a few differences.
