You can also build your own connected pipes and try to gather birds and butterflies. The game ends when there are no more ideas, a player's robots are complete, or no pipes are left to build. After an equal number of turns, the player with the highest score wins. Note: This is a Kickstarter exclusive deluxe edition.
