What it is about
Build a nest as a pair of cactus wrens, scouring the desert for building materials and placing them just right amidst your spiny accommodations. Snatch tasty morsels for your hatchlings as you build and help your nest thrive. This is a drafting game for 1-3 players playable with a standard deck of playing cards. Prickly Pear is part of our series of new Texas-themed games for playing cards, available for pre-order as an illustrated book on Kickstarter . You will also find beautiful wooden game tokens and two decks of playing cards featuring watercolor wildflowers, birds, critters, and places. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gameswell/texas?ref=8jkkhk Check out our how-to-play video above from our friend, Rolling Reggie
