Nestlings – A feathered struggle to survive in the wildest biomes
In Nestlings, you play the role—or rather, the feathers—of birds willing to do anything to feed their young. But the world is cruel, and nature even more so: only those who gain priority in the biomes will be able to choose first, discard what is unnecessary, and block the strategies of others. In a word: dominate the ecosystem .
Each round, you roll biome dice, placing them in the four available environments—savannah, mountain, freshwater, desert—and try to prevail. But beware: the other birds are also planning the perfect heist. Whoever has the most dice wins priority and gains the advantage to choose resources and sabotage the others.
Feathered dice, sharp strategies: nature does not give discounts.
- Worker placement with dice in an interactive biome system
- Set collection and resource selection to complete rings and objectives
- High interaction : blocks, overtakes, anticipates other birds
- Solo mode included for the more contemplative (or vengeful)
- Always critical choices between immediate points or future upgrades
Nestlings is a deep yet accessible game, where every die rolled can change the course of the game. Will you be able to feed your little ones and build the best nest... or will you be caught short?
🐸 Froggers say: Beneath the soft surface lies a tough-as-nails game.

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Collect music events during your road trip
Players play a band of rock cats on their way to their big concert. Each turn, they choose an event from the deck (activities, unforeseen events, mini-games), resolving scenes at the table before continuing towards the finish line.
2. Play “momentum” tiles to activate combos and get bonuses
Some events allow you to collect momentum tiles: they activate in a chain whenever you resolve related events, granting extra points or special powers. Accumulating momentum is the key to stellar performances.
3. Solve quick and easy mini-games with a cat theme!
The events include mini-games (challenges, balance tests, memory tests, etc.), often with a humorous feline twist. You solve them quickly: the tension is fun, never overwhelming.
4. Build your audience with fan cards
Some events allow you to earn fan cards that represent your following. The more fans you have, the more points you'll earn at the end. You need to balance pace, momentum, and the appeal of the concert.
5. Whoever arrives at the big concert with the most points and accumulated momentum wins.
The game ends with the final concert. Points are calculated based on resolved events, momentum combos, and fans gathered. The group of cats that performed best… wins the Big Gig !

Battle between feathers and biomes to raise your brood… or succumb
Nestlings – Feed, dominate, survive in the great game of birds.
In a world of untamed biomes and dwindling resources, every choice matters.
In Nestlings you take on the role of a flock leader, ready to defend his lineage and conquer natural territories with dice and cunning.
Savannahs, deserts, alpine lakes, and central prairies: every area is a race for influence , where everything depends on priorities. But be careful: choose poorly and your nest will remain empty .
A surprisingly tense and rewarding game, where feeding your little ones or upgrading your resource ring is just the first of many heartbreaking choices.
A strategic board game with dice and placement for true pack leaders
Nestlings is a strategic dice board game for 1-4 players, where each turn challenges you to decide where to place your dice to gain resources and ensure the survival of your little ones.
Featuring a dice-based worker placement mechanic, each area of the board represents a biome with different priority and harvesting rules. The game blends resource management, majority control, and set collection , while also offering a well-structured solo mode .
Perfect for those looking for a strategic family board game experience, but with relevant choices and mounting tension until the end.
We played it (and caught it well) 🐸
Nestlings surprised us with its fast pace and the depth hidden behind a soft, animal-friendly aesthetic.
Every turn is a choice between feeding your chicks right away or building an engine that gives you devastating late-game combos .
The interaction is very strong and the biomes become real rings for those who know how to read their opponent.
A title that will appeal to lovers of games with intelligent dice , majority tension and long-term plans... but also to those who love to nest 🐣✨
