pesäpaikka

Pesäpaikka is a Finnish board game published in 2019. It is designed for two to four players and typically lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. The game's theme revolves around collecting and managing resources to build a successful nest. Players take on the roles of birds striving to create the most advantageous nesting site before the breeding season ends.

The core gameplay involves a combination of worker placement and set collection mechanics. Players strategically place their bird tokens on different locations on the game board to gather various resources, such as twigs, moss, and feathers. These resources are then used to construct different parts of the nest, with each part offering unique benefits or scoring opportunities. Players must balance immediate needs for resources with long-term strategic planning to maximize their nest's value.

Points are awarded for completed nest sections, the diversity of collected resources, and fulfilling specific objective cards. The game ends after a predetermined number of rounds, or when a player achieves a certain nest completion milestone. The player with the highest total score is declared the winner. Pesäpaikka is known for its accessible rules and engaging, thematic gameplay, making it suitable for families and casual gamers. The artwork and components are often praised for their charming and fitting representation of the bird nesting theme.
