Featherlight (Eng)

Pauly, the potoo bird, has fallen out of its nest! Slightly dizzy, Pauly wakes up on the floor, surrounded by lots of shiny feathers. Players help Pauly organize their collection of feathers in this delightfully colorful new set collection and handling game.

The goal in Featherlight is to score optimally on each feather card in your hand to achieve the most points. You will need to trade cards wisely and collect sets that will combine with both your private hand and the public pool of shared cards (called the nest). Each feather card can earn you points, based on which feathers you have in your hand, and which feathers are in the nest at the end of the game. Each feather color has similar scoring conditions, with slight variations from feather to feather. Some may want feather sets, while others will want an odd or even number of feathers of a particular color. The more complex the card is to score, the more points you can earn! The player with the most points at the end wins!

What makes Featherlight unique is the shared nest. You not only manage the cards in your hand, but also compete with your opponents for control of the central cards that affect everyone’s points. Perhaps your interests align, and you can keep the card you want available. Maybe you take the card that your opponent desperately needs. You might even bluff an opponent into taking a useless card and reveal the card you needed instead! You will have to juggle the needs of your hand and the nest while guessing how the nest will change before your next turn if you want to succeed.

The game ends as soon as the last card is drawn from one of the two draw piles. The player who drew the last card still gets to finish their turn, and then the final scoring takes place, based on the final nest arrangement. The one who scored the most points wins! Players can play one game at a time, or they can participate in Pauly's Feather Tournament - a variant that lets players score three consecutive games' worth of points to determine an ultimate winner!
