The object of the game is to identify the bird species in as few clues as possible in order to win the most points for that card. With a point scale of one to five, a player can earn the most points by identifying the bird in just one clue. If it takes a player five clues before identifying the bird, then one point is awarded. A beautiful photo of the bird is on one side of the card for all to see, after the bird has been identified, or if all the clues have been given.

Player with the most points is the winner.
