Beaks

Embody your inner garbage bird in a frantic, lawless chip-snatching race that utilizes a mechanical tweezer-beak matrix and an all-play, real-time stealing engine for the ultimate table-top feeding frenzy.

Beaks: The Swoopy, Stealy, Snatchy Game (designed by James Parkes and published by Ginger Fox / Professor Puzzle) transforms the ruthless opportunism of seaside seagulls into a chaotic physical sprint. Moving away from polite, turn-based card games, this title drops everyone into a simultaneous scramble where manners fly out the window. The core objective is a pure test of rapid-fire dexterity and pattern matching: players act as ravenous gulls competing to complete fast-food takeaway receipts by physically snatching wooden food items from the middle of the table.

The primary hurdle lies in surviving the total lawlessness of the foraging phase while manipulating awkward, Spring-loaded tools. Each player is armed with a pair of yellow tweezer "beaks"—your only legal instrument of war. When a round begins with a booming countdown and a collective group "SQUAWK!", everyone dives in at once to grab chips, sausages, burgers, and cornish pasties. Because everything is fair game, you can snatch items from the central pile or ruthlessly pinch food right out of an opponent’s active beak and personal stash. Once you mirror the exact items on an active order card, you must raise your beak and scream a triumphant solo "SQUAWK!" to freeze the table. But be warned: greedy gulls who hoard extra food they don't need are penalized, losing points from their receipt value during order verification. It is a masterclass in hyper-accessible, high-tempo dexterity design that packs frantic hand-eye coordination, physical blocking, and laugh-out-loud table panic into a brisk 10-to-20 minute session.
