About this board game
Hummingbirds is a 15-minute board game for 2–4 players about guiding birds to flowers, revealing hidden sand timers, and collecting nectar.
Each flower hides a sand timer. Guide your birds to claim flowers, then reveal the timers to check whether the sand has run out. The timing of each reveal shapes the rewards you can collect.
If a revealed timer has finished, collect a nectar token matching its color. Waiting longer can make the reward sweeter, but patience comes with a clear risk: a timer may still be running when you check it.
- Guide birds to claim flowers.
- Reveal hidden sand timers to check for nectar.
- Collect a same-color nectar token when the sand has run out.
- Lose one of your lowest-value nectar tokens if the timer is still ticking.
Every check asks you to balance the promise of a better reward against the possibility of losing nectar you already hold. The result is a compact game built around timing, anticipation, and the consequences of waiting.
With its short play time and support for 2–4 players, Hummingbirds offers a focused way to experience this sand-timer challenge. The game was released in 2026.
