Nestlings is a board game from Lucky Duck Games for 1–4 players, playing in 30–60 minutes, recommended for ages 12+.
How it plays
In Nestlings, you're a bird racing to feed your hungry nestlings across four biomes.
Each round you roll and assign your dice to the biomes, including the wild grasslands, to win priority, collect resources and block your opponents. Feed your nestlings the food they like for points, complete gathering goals for bonuses, and fill your resource ring to unlock ongoing points and special abilities. After four rounds, everyone reveals their secret nest goals and the best score wins.
