🎉 Feather Party 1.0 Is Live!

Full Release with a New Board Map and 3 New Mini-Games

The 1.0 full release of Feather Party is officially live! With this major update, we’re introducing the brand-new Wild Wings board map along with 3 new mini-games. On top of that, we’ve made extensive improvements to performance, balance, networking, and fixed many critical issues.

🗺️ New Board Map: Wild Wings

A brand-new board map has been added: Wild Wings. This western-themed map features a vast open desert, a town hall, and a fully functional moving train system.

Compared to Feather Ruins, Wild Wings:

• Is significantly larger

• Contains more properties

• Offers a more linear, risk-focused gameplay experience with no shortcuts (except the train)

• Makes property linking easier with multiple color groups containing only two properties

This change increased the impact of properties on the new map, resulting in a more enjoyable gameplay experience.Steam post image

⚙️ Board Gameplay Features

🌪️ Sandstorm

• A powerful sandstorm splits the board straight down the middle.

• Storm Side: Property rents are doubled.

• Clear Side: Random thorn traps appear on tiles. Stepping on one causes players to lose 400 Feathers.

• The storm direction changes when:

  • Landing on an Event Tile

  • Using a Whistle card

🚆 Train Stations

• Two train stations are located at opposite ends of the board, connected by a moving train.

• Landing on a station allows you to:

  • Use a Train Ticket, or

  • Purchase a ticket to board the train.

• If the train is not currently at your station:

  • You must pay an additional fee to call it

  • Unless you already have a Train Ticket, which allows you to call it for free.

• The train transports you to the opposite station, and you continue moving using the remaining value of your dice roll.

• Perfect for escaping the storm or repositioning on the board.
