Hummingbirds (USA-PA184-929)
Hummingbirds is a family timing game from The Op for 2–4 players, ages 8+, that plays in about 15 minutes.
How it plays
Each flower sits on top of a hidden sand timer. On your turn you claim flowers, move into better positions, and check for nectar.
If the timer under a flower has run out, you collect a nectar token. Check too soon and you lose one. The game ends when all the nectar tokens of one color are claimed, and the highest total nectar wins.
