How do bonus cards score in the game?
Quick answer
Bonus cards are scored at the end of the game based on their specific conditions, as detailed in the Appendix (not covered in provided excerpts).
Details
Bonus cards are acquired during setup (each player keeps 1 of 2 random cards) and additional ones may be gained through certain bird powers. They contribute points at the end of the game, but the exact scoring conditions for each bonus card are described in the Appendix, which is not included in the provided rulebook excerpts [p.11 — END OF THE ROUND].
The game’s scoring summary (page 5) confirms bonus cards are part of final scoring but does not specify their individual criteria. Players must refer to the actual bonus cards or the full rulebook for details on how each card scores points (e.g., "2 points for each cached food token" or "1 point per wetland bird").
Watch out:
Since bonus card effects vary widely, ensure all players review their own bonus cards at the end of the game to avoid missing unique scoring opportunities.
