Corvids

About this board game

Corvids is a 30-minute game for 2–5 players, released in 2024, in which you play birds hunting for small objects and the most valuable collection of treasures.

Each turn begins with a mandatory “peck”: lift, flip, and set down a card using your fingers or the provided beak tweezers. You can approach this carefully or cause deliberate chaos by flipping, pushing, and disturbing cards and feather tokens across the playmat.

After pecking, choose any card that is not covered by another card and keep it, taking any feathers it touches. Most cards feature abilities and combo effects, so the changing arrangement of cards creates opportunities for clever chains, tactical blocking, and well-timed actions.

• Flip and disturb cards with your fingers or beak tweezers.
• Collect uncovered cards and nearby feather tokens.
• Use card abilities and combo effects to build momentum.
• Uncover opponents’ hidden nests to learn their goals and steal their treasures.
• Cover your own nest while racing to score the most points.

As the pile shrinks, the hidden nests of other birds become increasingly important. Revealing one lets you steal from that player, while covering your own nest can help protect your plans and keep opponents guessing.

When the cards run low, every theft, block, and chained action matters. Alongside the points from your collected cards and treasures, your secretly chosen bird type provides bonus points, giving each game of Corvids a final scoring twist. Embrace your inner crowbrain and peck your way to victory.
