From BoardGameGeek
Early Bird is a cute and quick bluffing game where players compete as hungry birds trying to find a worm. Each round, players choose a tile to land on and give it a peek (while putting on your best poker face). Then, try to distract your friends with some strategic bread crumbs before swooping in to snatch a worm. An optional advance variant lets players use the food they find along the way to activate powerful abilities. -description from the designer
