Product Information

The player who just ended the round becomes the new dealer and gives 8 cards from the draw pile to each player. A game plays in several successive rounds. At the beginning of each round, each player starts with 8 cards in their hand. A round continues until one of the players has no cards left in their hand. On their turn, a player must lay one or more birds from their hand. All the birds of the chosen species that player has in their hand must be played. The player lays these birds (next to each other) on the left or the right side of one of the 4 rows at the center of the table. When a player places a bird in a row that already has one or more birds of that species, the player must take all the cards between these birds into their hand. On se retrouve donc avec une belle profondeur de jeu et le placement doit être réfléchi et anticipé. Il faudra surveiller tout au long de la partie l’avancée des collections des autres joueurs et le placement des oiseaux évoluera en conséquence. Mais cela n’empêchera pas d’avoir des tours de jeux rapides et dynamiques. lays it on the right side. This means drawing 4 cards in total. If this would enclose Birds, RobinBird takes those in hand and completes the rows according to the normal rules.

The dealer then shuffles the 110 Bird cards and lays out 4 rows with three cards faceup at the center of the table a. For me the game shines at the two player count. When you play at three, four or five the game becomes much more random with the table state changing significantly between your turns. At two players you have much more control over the birds and can play against your opponent as much as the table. I don’t mind playing it at any player count but would always prefer to play at two. Final Thoughts If the draw pile gets empty, shuffle all the cards from the discard pile to form a new draw pile. The new dealer is the first to play in this round.Of the 368 bird species reported for Cuba about 42% breed on the island, and 70% are migratory (c.114 species are regular winter residents). Of the breeding species, 135 are resident (including eight introduced birds) and 14 arrive from South America to breed on the island in the summer. The island is home to six endemic genera (namely Cyanolimnus, Starnoenas, Xiphidiopicus, Ferminia, Teretistris and Torreornis), 28 endemic birds (including the world’s smallest bird, the Bee Hummingbird Mellisuga helenae) and 60 endemic subspecies. A round ends when one of the players has no cards left in their hand. The remaining cards that players have in their hand go to the discard pile. The cards laid in rows at the center of the table remain in place. The player who ended the round becomes the new dealer. If it is impossible to deal 8 cards to each player (even with the discard pile), the game ends immediately. In this case, the player with the most bird cards in their collection wins the game.

You take the first turn of the game. Take your turn as usual. In her turn, RobinBird draws for each row a card from the draw pile and All of the remaining cards are shuffled to form a facedown draw pile b. This draw pile is placed near to the center of the table, accessible to all players. The dealer gives 8 facedown Bird cards from the draw pile to each player: this is their starting hand. According to BirdLife International, which has designated 28 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Cuba, “Over 370 bird species have been recorded in Cuba, including 27 which are endemic to the island and 29 considered globally threatened. Due to its large land area and geographical position within the Caribbean, Cuba represents one of the most important countries for Neotropical migratory birds – both birds passing through on their way south (75 species) and those spending the winter on the island (86 species).“ For example, if a player added the two Parrots to the left of this row, they would take the Owl and Flamingo:Our itinerary provides opportunities to see many of Cuba’s endemic species and subspecies, as listed below. The trip will also focus on the many Neotropical migrant species that migrate south to Cuba in the fall and are abundant in Cuba during the winter months (endemic species and endemic subspecies in italics):
