Early Bird board game box package with yellow with illustrated clouds and flying birds in the background

Early Bird

Energetic, fun and quirky, this fast-flying card game package with spot UV gloss details sets the tone for a game that will leave your head spinning! An illustrated cast of birds, a terrified worm and a pesky squirrel establish a world in the trees where kids and adults alike can toss a squishy foam worm and compete to gather all the cards for their nest. The deck includes bird-themed number cards and action cards which illustrate different mini challenges within the game. Build your card birdhouse, do a Squirrel Twirl and remember — the Early Bird always gets the worm! Game concept by Ellie Dix. Photos by Parker Foote.

A True Squirm of Art

Designed for 3D and destined for flight, this squishy worm keeps it simple — no sharp angles means no tearing when thrown. And yes, the face is a little goofy ... but how would you feel with hungry birds on your tail?
