falconry
Falconry is a card placement strategy game, where thinking ahead matters. As one of several competing nobles, players place markers, send out falconers and birds, and seek to outmaneuver other contestants for the grand prize.
Each noble begins by placing his or her falconer, and the race is on! Falconers and birds can be used to claim other players markers for themselves, and falconers can ambush other players’ birds. Players race to be the first to align 5 or 6 cards in a row (depending on the variant).
Variations include forming alliances between players that require new strategies, as well as asymmetric game play, where a single player faces two allied opponents.

Falconry
Story
You are brilliant, wealthy, and royal. Most of all, you are ready to prove your brilliance in a high-stakes competition planned by the king himself.
Birds of prey have been trained and used for centuries in the kingdom of Abbron, and falconry has slowly become a part of everyday life.To celebrate the arrival of falconry in the land, King Alrók has announced a competition for all nobles, with an entire dukedom as the grand prize.
Nobles must claim enough territory for their birds to fly a straight course of a specified distance.The first noble to do so wins the award.
Compete with other nobles for dominance, to gain affluence, and to establish your place in Abbron’s history. Use strategy, misdirection, and an occasional ambush to claim new territory, mark a straight path, and win!
Goal of the Game
Create the first full hunting path by arranging 5 cards in a row (when playing 1 card per turn), or 6 cards in a row (when playing 2 cards per turn).
The first player or team to mark a straight path of the specified length wins the game!
Turn Actions
On your turn you either have 1 action or 2, based on the variant.
For each action, you may either place or move an available card of your color. To place a new card, either take a card from your hand or select a card already on the board, then select where you would like to place it.
- Markers are the most basic card type, and may only be placed alone in open spots connected to other cards.
- Birds can claim other players' markers. These may be placed alone, or on top of a marker card of another color.
- Falconers are the most powerful cards, and can claim other players' markers or ambush their birds. These may be placed alone, or on top of a marker or bird card of another color.
