Take your feathered feuds to new heights with Birds of Play! Discover three new expansions for Perch that can be mixed-and-matched. Chase the sun and moon, nibble on breadcrumbs, and splash into new territory with ponds. The fight for the homestead just got fiercer! In Seeds the Day: Bird feeders are spread across the homestead. Each bird that reaches the tile first will score a snack and 3 victory points scored immediately! While securing an early lead on the scoretrack is valuable, you'll want to keep an eye on how this might affect turn-order. Points in the Sky: This expansion rewards long-term planning and strategic positioning of your flock! As the sun and moon tiles revolve around the homestead, they'll change the rewards at the locations they shine upon. Pondemonium: Splash into Ponds with new scoring opportunities and creatures to control! Use breadcrumbs to attract birds from adjoining locations to new Pond tiles. Then, during scoring, outflank the other flocks by counting the birds on the Pond AND neighboring locations. Control the Frog or Perch pond to gain access to their asymmetric abilities and manipulate the birds on their pond. This set also comes with 20 new hidden objective cards that highlight the unique mechanics of each expansion. -description from the publisher
