Angry Birds Space

Power Cards

Comparing of values for card characteristics, a mechanism that is used for instance in Top Trumps games, is also used in this game: All cards are dealt evenly to all players; should a card be left over it is put on the table and given to the winner of the first round. All players hold their deck in hand open-faced, but so that each player only sees his own cards. The active player of the round chooses and names one of four characteristics values (not the slingshot value) on his top card, the others name their corresponding value; if your card shows the highest value of this characteristic you win cards used in this round. In case of a tie all those involved play a second round comparing the same characteristic; the winner takes the cards of this and of the previous round.

In the course of the game you need to lay out a three-part, monochromatic construct from cards you won, using the back sides of cards; when you are done and have a pig in your cards you put the pig on the construct and read out the sling shot value in the top left-hand corner of the pig card: all other players name the sling shot value of their top card. When the pig card wins its owner takes all cards from the table, even other constructs; when someone else wins he takes the pig and all top cards. If you are out of hand cards you demolish your construct, one by one; if you are out of cards you quit; the last one holding cards wins.

Not really angry, those space birds, but providing a very nicely don symbiosis of standard game mechanism and favorite topic, easy to play and with the attractive additional mechanism of construction.
