About the game

Nestlings is a board game from Lucky Duck Games, designed by Brandon Ohmie (2024). It plays 1–4 players in 30–60 minutes, for ages 10+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 6.6 out of 10 and call it medium (2.4 / 5 weight).

 In Nestlings, players assume the role of various birds competing to gain priority across four vastly different biomes - Savannah, Alpine, Freshwater, and Desert. Each round, roll and assign your dice to the four unique biomes, including the wild grasslands. Gain priority and reap the benefits of choosing the first resource as well as discarding a resource to thwart your avian competitors’ strategy.

Earn points by feeding your Nestlings their preferred food, and use others to fulfill Gathering Goals. Fill your Resource Ring to gain recurring victory points each round, as well as immediate bonuses that can create powerful chain reactions. Any unused resources can be traded for a variety of even more benefits! At the completion of four rounds, players will reveal their private Nest Goals and tally their victory points to crown the avian champion!
