Grackles is a lightly themed abstract strategy game in which players line up as many of their birds in a row on telephone wires. On each turn, players take 1 action: • place a tile with 4 colored spots and telephone wires, • connect 2 matching spots with their birds, • extend an existing line of their birds, • or rotate an unoccupied tile. The player with the most birds on wires at the end of the game wins.
