Designed for 2 to 4 players aged 10 and up, it offers a rich tactical experience in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for family or couple game nights. Players compete to line up birds on a 5x5 tile board, blending elegant southwestern themes with engaging gameplay. ## Description Grackles are noisy, iridescent birds that love to gather on telephone wires at sunset throughout the southwestern United States. In the lightly-themed abstract strategy game Grackles, you line up your birds on the telephone wire to score as many points as possible. Each turn, players choose between drawing and placing a tile, connecting two spots on the telephone wire with their birds, extending a line of birds, or rotating an empty tile. After the board has been built to five tiles by five tiles and all available pairs of spots on the telephone wire have birds on them, the player with the most birds on the telephone wire wins. ## Features - Plays like a classic - Beautiful, acrylic tokens - Great for families and couples - Supports 2 to 4 players, ages 10 and up - 30-minute play time ## Images ![Fireside Games Grackles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716vp4SfJwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite game! *by M***N on January 20, 2020* This is easily my favorite game. It's great for all ages. I am really hoping for an expansion or two.Since I love it so much, I ended up buying multiple copies for others and a backup for myself, just in case something ever happens to my copy.It's incredibly easy to learn. It's not a time suck and it can be played by anyone.I'm very impressed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love grackles *by R***S on April 24, 2024* Would love to give you more of a product review but I refuse to open it. Just one of my many stupid collectors items ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to learn and to play *by M***R on November 12, 2018* This is an easy to learn game where you are laying plastic chips in lines on a changing game board with the goal of using more of your chips than your opponents. While it is simple, the possibility of your opponents rotating tiles or placing new ones does add some complexity to the game.The artwork on the box is nice and the grackles appear on the plastic chips, but that is pretty much the extent of the theme other than the idea of creating lines of chips like lines of grackles sitting on telephone lines. But, I like that the designers gave a background to the concept of creating rows on the board by making them rows of grackles.The game board is created using tiles, each of which has a 2x2 pattern of circles, one each of the four colors used in the game. The game starts with the same two tiles and from there, the board is expanded as more tiles are placed. On each turn, the players can do one of four things:- Draw and place a tile on the board- Build a line - connect an empty space of your color with another empty space of yourcolor on the board- Extend a line - extend an existing line to an empty space on a new tile that has beenplaced. Note that you can never cross a line, even if it is your own color- Rotate an empty tileThe winner of the game is the one with the least number of chips at the end of the game.The game is for 2 to 4 players, but it seems to play best with 2 players because there is more back and forth between the players. While the game is easy and fun to play, it is not without problems. Each player has 5 rotate tile tokens and these are often left to the end of the game which means that the same tiles keep getting rotated until everyone runs out of rotate tile tokens. And it is usually clear before the game ends who will win.Overall, this is a nice, light game. ## Frequently Bought Together - Grackles - Gamewright | Forbidden Island | Board Game | Ages 10+ | 2-4 Players | 30 Minutes Playing Time - Scorpion Masqué | Zombie Kidz Evolution | Board Game | Ages 7+ | 2 - 4 Players --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/79863775-fireside-games-grackles](https://www.desertcart.es/products/79863775-fireside-games-grackles) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
