Clash of Galliformes is a board game released in 2024 for 2–4 players, 30–60 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Kim Jansson and Kim Åberg and its main mechanics are Player Elimination, Area Movement, and Point to Point Movement.
Explore, build and battle in this strategy and resource management game with ground-living birds set in an alternate timeline where birds work alongside tribal clans. As the clans have developed close to their feathery mounts, their cultures have been formed by their specific clan birds. Some have mastered the way of faster bird breeding while others have gone down a more warlike path. Now is the time to choose your bird and in so doing, your way of life. Players must expand their territory to find supplies and new technologies for their tribes. The threat from rival clans is also constant, so you have to adapt your strategies and think ahead of your opponents to survive. Will you conquer the other clans by force or will your memory live on through the peaceful measure of completing cave paintings? The choice is yours! —description from the designer
