Three Lil Birdies 2024

Three Li'l Birdies is a hand-crushing, chaos-creating, family-friendly card game that is a little like Snap and can leave you in similar positions to those found in a rugby scrum. The aim of the game is to collect sets of 3 identical bird cards. When someone does, everyone must try to grab a wooden egg that is in the middle of the table. If you grab the egg first, you win the set. But just because you win the set doesn't mean you keep it...

Gameplay: Players take turns to draw cards away from themselves from the middle of the table. If a player draws a bird card that is identical to one that they already have, the player can make a pile of the matching cards in front of them. If a player collects * 3 identical bird cards * everyone must try to grab a wooden egg that is in the middle of the table. Whoever gets the egg first, wins the set of cards too.

HOWEVER, there are some sneaky cards called consequence cards. These cards can make players lose, gain, swap and steal entire sets of bird cards from other players, meaning that no set is safe!!! If a player draws a consequence card, they must follow the instructions on the card, and then place the consequence cards and any other relevant cards in the discard pile.

The player who collects 5 sets of bird cards, wins the game.

Simple!
