How to Play:Set the scene of your adventure using the game box and Flight Paths. Pick your Spy Pigeon and sit them on the Start. Now, patience . . . Shh! Hear that?“Well, I heard that REDACTED is using his lottery winnings to buy REDACTED. I mean, can you believe it?! I’d never have thought it of him!”That’s the sound of breaking news! Let’s fly!Use your cards to either move along your Flight Path towards News Coop or to play an Action that works to your advantage or sabotages your competition. You need at least two matching icons in your hand to fly forward, and the more matches you have, the more you can do! And if you find yourself splatted with Lucky Poop, then you’re in for a treat.No matching icons? Then, it’s time for Action. You could use your cards to deploy Drones directly into the path of another Spy Pigeon, blocking their progress, or you could steal a card from another player. If things get desperate, you could add new cards to your hand, but beware: if you do that, you must move the last-placed pigeon forward!
