What it is about
Birdwatch is a print-and-play roll & write game about creating the most valuable bird reserve. Roll 4 dice, draw connected habitats on your 5×5 map, collect food, and attract unique birds for points. Every placement matters: a growing forest may help you attract an owl, while a mountain range could become the key to powerful birds of prey. The game combines: Spatial planning Resource management Meaningful dice choices Short but strategic gameplay Food is both a resource and a timer, so you can never attract every bird in a single game. Decide whether to expand your habitats, collect food, or complete a valuable bird combination before the season ends. Includes Standard Reserve (Base Birds) Expert Reserve (Advanced Birds) One-page illustrated rule sheet Solo and multiplayer play (1–4 players) Game details Players: 1–4 Play time: 12–20 minutes Ages: 8+ Why play Birdwatch? Fast setup Simultaneous play with shared dice Different strategies every game Compact 5×5 puzzle with meaningful decisions Easy to print on a single A4 page Whether you focus on vast forests, peaceful wetlands, open grasslands, or rugged mountains, every reserve tells a different story.
