Your hummingbirds claim flowers that hide running sand timers, and the longer you dare to leave one sitting before checking it, the sweeter the nectar you take home.

Who it's for

Mixed tables including kids who enjoy a physical, nervy push-your-luck with almost no rules overhead.

Not for you if…

You want deep strategy or dislike memory and real-time pressure deciding your turn.

Vibe's take

Twitchy and giggly – you keep reaching for a timer, pulling back, and watching someone else grab the one you were counting on.
