About the game
Sunset Sky expands Snowbirds with 18 new Map cards, introducing 4 new location effects, offering a whole new landscape for your flock to explore. In addition to new bonuses and hazards, it also provides a new deck of Actions and rules to adapt the solitaire experience into a 2-player game. With a second flock in the sky, you can compete to see who can better manage the long journey south with their limited actions and resources. Players willing to take greater risks can gain an edge in an already tense race for survival. Can you bring your birds home? This expansion requires the base game to play.

Questions and answers
Snowbirds: Sunset Sky supports 1–2 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Snowbirds: Sunset Sky is 10–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Snowbirds: Sunset Sky for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Snowbirds: Sunset Sky belongs to these categories: Card Game, Animals, and Print & Play. Its main mechanics are Hand Management and Push Your Luck. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns. Each mechanic links to a catalogue hub with similar games, which helps when you want something comparable.
The credited designers of Snowbirds: Sunset Sky are: Brian Garthwaite. These credits come from the published game data and name the people responsible for the game’s design, not its illustrators or publishers.

The catalogue lists Snowbirds: Sunset Sky as an expansion for Snowbirds. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Snowbirds to use it. Check that your edition of Snowbirds is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
