Description

Flock Together is a beautifully immersive cooperative experience for 1-5 players. During the game, each player takes on the role of a unique chicken with asymmetric abilities and works together to drive off the invading predators before the third season ends.

Every turn, players choose their own strategy to progress their cause by selecting two of their eight available actions. Along the way, players will also have to manage leveling up, predator loot drops, traveling grubs, and adverse weather conditions. However, players must plan carefully, because as the seasons change, every predator that is still alive grows stronger and gains new abilities.

With eleven asymmetric characters to play and ten unique predators to defeat, Flock Together offers immense variability that can be enjoyed with quick turns and an experience that lasts 25 minutes per player.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

Board layout and zones — A central coop area plus four outside zones (the grit, the Hindred Acre Wood, the Golden Gables, the Badlands) where predators start and actions occur.
Bonus cards and grub abilities — Bonus cards provide one-time powers; grub cards grant ongoing bonuses and special bottom-card effects.
Brood and revival — If a player dies, brood mechanics allow reviving or replacing with a freshly hatched chick in some last-resort scenarios.
Combat System — Attack strength is determined by chicken fists; spending food increases damage; you resolve predator/grub effects after damage.
cooperative play — All players work together to defend the coop from predators and complete the season-based objective.
Days and weather — Each day includes production checks, two actions, and possible weather changes; weather events affect play and resource availability.
Egg exchange and food economy — Eggs can be exchanged for food under weather-vein-triggered phases; this toggles resource management across days.
Health/food/eggs/meals tracking — Players manage health tokens, food tokens, eggs, and meals to grow their chicken and fuel actions.
Leveling and growth — Chick grows to pullet/hen with more health, higher attack, and new abilities; growth is tracked on a meal counter and heart tokens.
Loot progression and boss reveal — Defeating predators yields loot; defeating the last predator reveals and strengthens the final boss late in the game.
Predator and grub encounters — Predators have health and special effects; grubs provide temporary bonuses and can be discarded for advantages.
Seasonal structure — The game unfolds over three seasons (spring, summer, fall), each consisting of seven days/rounds with weather effects.
