We’re making a
game about birds.
'Isle of Feathers' is a competitive, vertical tile placement game about building the perfect island habitat for some very weird birds.
Every bird is unique, and players take turns adding land and trees to the island whilst attempting to create habitats for their birds. Space is limited, so players need to jostle for position and outsmart each other to get their birds onto the table and score points.
Playtime is 30-45 minutes, and has enough mechanical depth to be played either as a gateway party game, or as light-weight strategy game. ‘Isle of Feathers’ is quick to play, easy to learn, and its novel, vertical building mechanic will have players coming back again and again.
How Do I Play?

More About Us
This game is a passion project that started at the height of the first lockdown. It’s a love letter to strange birds, from two strange people who love animals of all kinds.
We wanted to make something that brings people joy, and we hope that ‘Isle of Feathers’ can do just that.
We hope you come along for the ride!
