In Perchés, players compete for control of locations by commanding birds in their own flock and those of other players. Earn points and command woodland creatures by having the most birds on a location, pushing your opponents off the roost, and breaking ties to take the lead.

Each round, players add their birds to a shared bag. Players then draw their own birds, and other players take turns stacking birds on location tiles. Each location tile awards varying points for a majority, and sometimes grants players a unique ability. The game ends after five rounds, and the player with the most points wins.

With a modular tile layout and a variety of woodland creatures to control, each game will present a new tactical challenge.
