Perch – The art of commanding flocks
Get ready to challenge other birds for control of the most coveted branches! In Perch , each player commands a flock of birds (and not just their own!), trying to gain control of the best areas in the forest. But beware: this game is dirty , with strategic pushes, last-minute ties, and the special abilities of the small woodland animals.
With area majority mechanics and a strong shared bag-building component, Perch is a surprisingly tactical board game for 2-5 players , with a modular tile set and high replayability. Each turn, you'll draw birds (even other people's!) and place them at key points on the map, taking care not to give your opponents an advantage.
Each area offers variable victory points and special bonuses: who will be able to dominate the forest's avian hierarchy and achieve victory with the highest score?
Because your flock deserves the throne of the branches 🪶
- Strategic board game with majorities, bluffing and area control
- Shared bag building : fishing for birds has never been so exciting
- Unique abilities of the places and animals of the forest to change the outcome of the game
- High interaction and continuous challenges for supremacy
- Perfect for strategic families and groups who enjoy tense and intelligent games
Because it's one of those games that makes you smile because of the theme and stay glued because of the strategy. If you thought bird games were quiet... think again. 🐸

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Draw a mix of birds from a common bag
At the start of each round, a pool of colored birds is drawn from a bag containing tokens from all players. This creates a shared offering, making each turn unpredictable and full of strategic choices.
2. Place birds on locations to gain majority points
Players take turns selecting a bird from the pool and placing it on one of the various locations. Each location has its own scoring scheme and often rewards multiple positions, not just the one who wins the game—so keep an eye out for second place, too.
3. Each location has a special power to activate
Some locations offer unique abilities, such as removing opponents' birds, moving them, or manipulating the pool. Whoever controls these areas can gain decisive advantages and change the momentum of the match.
4. Not just your birds: you can use your opponent's birds too
The genius of Perch is that you can place birds of any color, not just your own. This allows you to bluff, deflect the majority, or use your opponent against themselves . It's a game where control is indirect... but powerful.
5. After 5 rounds, the player who has collected the most control points wins.
The game lasts five rounds. At the end, the points earned in each location and through special abilities are added up. The winner is the one who best reads the map, exploits the common pool, and places the cards wisely.

Why?
In the kingdom of high branches, whoever loses his balance… ends up on the ground.
Avian battles and strategies based on feathers, bluffing and territory control in the middle of the forest.
Why – Put your beak where it counts (and stay on top)
A forest full of branches… but the best spots are contested.
In Perch , it's not enough to just place your birds: you have to dominate them, manage them, make them fight for you and sometimes use your opponents' birds to turn the tide.
A game where the bag is shared, the board is created from scratch each time, and majority rules are never taken for granted.
Your goal? Stay on the right branches, command the right creatures, exploit the location's abilities, and—most importantly—knock the others down.
Every move can either give you points or condemn you to fall.
Perch: Feathers, strategy, and territorial control in a shared bag
Perch , created by Douglas Hettrick and published by Inside Up Games, is a strategic game of majority and resource management for 2-5 players, set in a living and unpredictable forest.
Each turn is based on shared bag-building : you place your birds in the communal bag and hope to draw them at the right time, as everyone competes for control of the most coveted branches.
Location tiles offer variable scoring and unique powers, and the modular setup ensures a different map and new combinations every game .
Thanks to asymmetric information, continuous interaction and a pinch of intelligent randomness , Perch is ideal for those looking for a fresh, dynamic experience with a light but strategic soul.
We played it. And we never came down from that tree. 🐸
Because it's one of those titles that seems simple , but hides a thousand decisions beneath the surface.
We loved the feeling of tension when fishing from the bag, and that visceral satisfaction when you manage to push the others out.
The game manages to be tactical, accessible, but also just the right amount of evil , and the modularity of the map gives it new life every time.
If you like non-trivial majority games, with an attractive aesthetic and original ideas , Perch will surprise you immediately.
