Come February ‘Songbirds’ Takes Flight for Daily Magic Games

Dec 21, 2018

A really fun, family friendly card game is about to return to print – in what appears to be an English language only edition – from Daily Magic Games. In Songbirds, players attempt to line up various numbered species of our feathered friends as they aim to score the most berries (victory points) at the end of the game. I thoroughly enjoyed the multi-language edition and gave it an 8.4 out of 10 in my review. The game is for one to four players, ages 8+, plays in around 30 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $20.00.

From Daily Magic:

With the rising sun, the songbirds begin to sing. In this magical forest, the loudest songbirds claim the ripest berries and prime nesting spots. As a forest spirit, you help your favorite songbird color prosper in secret. Each turn, you’ll place one songbird with a specific volume into the forest. The volume of each songbird will add to those of the same color in rows and columns. The songbird color with the loudest volume wins the berry token in the respective column or row.

At the end of the game, you reveal the last remaining songbird card in your hand. This is your favored songbird, and you score the points that the songbird color collected in berry tokens and add in the volume of your favored songbird. The player with the most points wins the game!
