Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds is a real-time board game that challenges you to judge timing and position to harvest the sweetest nectar.

Players take turns claiming flower spaces that sit on hidden sand timers, jockeying for the best spots while the clock quietly runs out underneath the garden. When you peek, you’re betting on timing: check after the sand has finished to collect matching nectar, but check too early and you’ll lose one of your lowest-value nectar tokens. The tension ramps up as colors dry up and the endgame triggers when a single nectar color is fully claimed. It’s quick, interactive, and easy to teach, with enough push-your-luck bite to keep every reveal exciting. Available now at Boarding School Games—time your nectar run.
