Objective:

You love the fresh nature aromas; the feel of the breeze ruffling through your feathers; this park is the place to be. But wait! The city folk have taken over your beloved reserve and it is your objective to bombard the uninvited visitors (city cards) to force them out! You cannot complete this mission alone but with the aid of your parkland brethren (park cards), all you must do is attack with strength and intelligence  to strong-arming their exit and keep their victory points as your own.
Once you have obtained a total of 15 victory points from these visitors, you win and the park is yours once more.

Card Anatomy:

City Cards:

These are the uninvited park visitors. There are victory points on the top left. Players will compete against each other to gain these cards for victory.

Park Cards:

There are two types of park cards; the minions and the special cards. Minions have a power on the top left that will go towards attacking the city cards.

The special cards have abilities outlined on the cards. These include moving the other player's minions, keeping your played minion after an attack or adding more minions after assigning cards to a city card.

Setup:

- Shuffle both the city and park decks separately
- Deal each player four park cards
- Deal city cards face up to the middle equal to the number of players

How to Play:

This game is played in rounds until one payer reaches 15 points worth in visitor cards. On every round, excluding the first, players will draw three cards. Cards are not discarded between rounds and there is no hand limit so players can have larger hands than other players. With this in mind, you may want to save those good cards for when the city cards with higher victory points come in. Starting with the first player, either place a card face down next to a city card (attack) or pass for the remainder of the round. This will continue until every player passes so you will have multiple changes to play your cards. Now every park card is revealed. First, any special cards are resolved which will create round-changing effects and alter the odds of winning. The park cards are now resolved and the player with the highest total power wins that city card. After this, all the park cards played are discarded and more city cards are drawn to replace the city cards equal to the player count.

Who is this for:

If you enjoy fun casual games to play in a party atmosphere, whilst entertaining up to five friends, then it is worth looking at their Kickstarter as they also have a NSFW addition (if you don’t know what the acronym means then you’re not old enough to use it). If your a fan of hand management games that involve you out maneuvering and messing with your friends, that's easy to learn and has great art then seek out 'Pigeonpocalypse' on Kickstarter.
