Bower

2024·Pierpaolo Paoletti

Light weight: Learn it in minutes

From BoardGameGeek

What one wouldn't do to attract attention! Birds know this well, especially the bowerbirds, who to impress their peers go beyond displaying their flashy feathers or singing a sweet melody. They construct elaborate and impressive nests, unleashing all their creativity. The result is a true work of art, composed of objects of all kinds, such as flowers, feathers, shells, and even sparkling gemstones. In Bower, you place tiles to create your nest with colored feathers, shiny rocks, and eye-catching flowers. You will challenge your opponent over six different goals, but you will know only three of them! Try to deduce the other goals and run to get precious abilities. A variety of abilities will give each game surprising twists...
