Play & nature knowledge

The lovingly designed cards combine strategic collecting with Switzerland's diverse birdlife. Different bird species, habitats and symbols bring variety to the game and playfully share knowledge about local nature.

Ideal for

For families, schools, nature lovers and curious children. The compact format is perfect for holidays, train journeys, restaurants, holiday flats, and for children or passengers on longer car journeys. Thanks to the solo version, you can also discover Switzerland's birdlife on your own.

POINT HUNT variant - for 2 to 5 players

At the start, lay out as many cards face up as there are players, plus one extra. Everyone starts with no cards in hand. The token shows who begins the turn each time. On a turn, players take it in turns to choose one of three actions:

• Draw one or two cards from the deck
• Take a card from the display into your hand
• Play two cards face up to score points

You collect sets of birds, ducks or owls. Birds from the same habitat (lowland or mountain) earn bonus points. Symbol cards also bring extra points. Swapping cards is only allowed when an event card says so. At the end, whoever has collected the most points wins.

SOLO variant - for 1 player

Draw two cards. Play one face up, the other goes on the discard pile. Then it begins: each round you draw two new cards, choose one to play, and the other is discarded again.

Your goal: form as many matching sets as possible, for example three birds, three ducks or three owls. When no more cards come up, you count your points and try to beat your own record next time.
