Event Description

Game Versions

There will be three preliminary heats, followed by the Semi-Final and Final.

The Europe, Oceania, or Asia expansions may be used in the heats, if all players agree. Otherwise, the Base game must be used. 

The Semi-Final and the Final will use the Base version of the game.

SETUP

The “Power 4 Birds” (Chihuahuan Raven, Common Raven, Franklin’s Gull, and Killdeer) will not be used and must be removed from the common deck prior to the game starting.

Number of Players

Most games will be played with 4 players, resorting to 5-player games only if needed. Players will randomly select turn order and seating order at the start of each game.

Elimination Rounds

1. If there are 4 or less winners, we will advance directly to a final.
2. If there are 5 to 8 winners, we will play an 8 player semi advancing first and second to the final.
3. If there are 9 to 12 winners, we will play a 12 player semi advancing winners and the best second to the final.
4. Otherwise, we will play a 16 player semi with the winners playing a final.

Rules Clarifications/Notes

1. We will draft the initial set of 5 bird cards, passing to the left
2. The following tiebreakers will be used to determine finish order within a game:

• •  Most unused food tokens remaining
  •  Most unused bird cards remaining
  •  Was latest in turn order on turn 1
