The Birds and The Birds
Instructions - Please read!
You start as the green bird, which is the first bird in the roster and also the one highlighted on the board. This game is an "Auto Crawler" that takes inspiration from Monopoly and Loop Hero, and so your bird will blindly follow the path without your input.
Influence
Your bird's influence is shown on the right. This will increase whenever:
- Your bird steps on a tile with the same color as it. (+ 1)
- Your bird steps on an orange tile. (+ 6 minus your bird's "Stale," which increases by 1 every loop
- Another bird steps on a tile with the same color as your bird. (+ 2)
Your bird loses 1 influence when they step on a tile of another bird's color.
Influence can be used to do two of the only actions you are allowed to take:
- Mark - Marks a tile with the color of your bird. This requires 4 influence on an unclaimed tile and 9 influence on an already claimed tile.
- Change - Changes your bird's color to the tile that it is currently standing on. This requires 10 influence and reduces your bird's influence to 2 after.
Winning/Losing
As of now, the game does not enforce a win/lose state. Here are the rules that I have intended to implement:
- The round ends the first time that a color has a majority of 4.
- The last bird that is of the odd color gets -5 points.
- The bird whose color wins at the end gets + 5 points.
- All other birds gain +2 points.
Try to play with 7 rounds and see who gets the most points!
