Daily Magic is bringing the area control card game
Songbirds (2016), from designer
ゆお (Yuo) and artists
ことり寧子 (Kotori Neiko) and
Claire Donaldson, to North America in the coming year. In Songbirds, originally called Birdie Fight, has up to 4 players take turns placing cards into a 5x5 grid. The cards are comprised of numbers 1-7 in four different bird suits. Players put their cards in the grid one at a time, starting in the middle, and always playing a card next to an existing card. When the grid is full, all players should have one card left in their hand. Each column and row in the grid has a token defining its point value, and that value gets assigned to the bird suit which has the highest number total in that row or column. Now players receive points for their last card - both the number value and the total score for the suit. Highest score wins the game! For more details and images, check out
