A flock of little songbirds gather at the feeder to eat. One by one, different birds hop on the perch and carry away their meals, large and small. Can you gather the best collection of bird and seed cards as the feeder empties while avoiding greedy squirrels and angry crows?
Piepmatz is a beautiful and beautifully simple card game for players of all ages. It's easy to learn but provides an enjoyable, ever-changing puzzle to sort out each turn.
It takes creative vision to find a game in something so seemingly ordinary. That vision is a sure path to Major Fun.
Complete Show Notes continue after the break.

Miklos and Starla have a lively discussion on the subject of diversity, representation and inclusion in the board game community. We love and support the idea of a more inclusive and diverse community of players and hope we can help in some small way make that vision a reality.
