Peacock

About this board game

Peacock is a 2026 board game for 2–4 players, played in about 25 minutes, in which you create bird sanctuaries through simultaneous drafting, set collection, and seasonal bonuses.

The seasons are changing, and well-dressed birds are searching for a new place to call home. Across three seasons, you will build sanctuaries as fetching as the birds themselves while adapting to shifting food availability and the changing needs of different species.

Each round, location cards are rotated and upgraded to reflect the current season. This changing landscape gives the game a distinctive seasonal rhythm, asking you to consider how your sanctuary can develop as conditions change.

• Simultaneous drafting as players choose cards alongside one another
• Set collection focused on creating appealing bird sanctuaries
• Seasonal card changes that reflect shifting food availability
• A range of bonuses, including bird buddy benefits and full flock freebies

Different birds bring different considerations to your plans. Hard-headed Eagle Owls enjoy company in warm weather but need more personal space when it is cold. Regal Kingfishers and Determined Woodpeckers thrive together when food is plentiful, creating a new challenge when supplies become scarce.

Balancing these relationships and rewards is central to Peacock. You will need to weigh immediate bonuses against the changing conditions of later seasons, carefully combining birds and locations as your sanctuary takes shape.

With its blend of rotating cards, evolving food availability, and bonus-driven decisions, Peacock offers a compact game about adapting to change while building a home for a colorful flock.
