Overview

As pigeon clans, players vie for roosting rights in the districts of Venice. Clans must get larger to stake out more territory, and pigeon reproduction depends on getting as close as possible to tourists in the Piazza San Marco. All this is accomplished through the simultaneous selection of actions: how many pigeons to send to the piazza, which (if any) special action to use, and which three regions to reinforce. Points are scored for having a majority of pigeons in a district.
