Learn About the Game Squawk
Have you ever wanted to channel your inner parrot and spice up game night with a little squawking? Squawk is a lively card game where each round turns your table into a noisy rainforest. Players draw cards featuring colorful bird icons and clever sound symbols, and you’ve got to match calls, mimic squawks, or sneak in a cheeky “caw” at just the right moment. It’s simple to learn—no thick rulebook here—but it’s full of those moments where you suddenly realize you’ve been out-squawked by your best friend.
The heart of Squawk is all about timing and memory. On your turn, you flip over a card and decide whether to call out the sound that matches its icon or hold back, hoping your opponents will slip up. Throw in a few special action cards that let you reverse the order, skip a player, or force everyone to swap hands, and you’ve got a surprisingly tactical game hiding beneath the feathers. Even the quirkiest combo can send the table into fits of laughter when someone accidentally blurts out “screech” instead of “squawk.”
What really keeps us coming back is the energy Squawk brings to the room. It’s perfect for a quick ten-minute warm-up before dinner or stretching out into a half-hour free-for-all. With seats for anywhere from three to six players, kids and adults find something to love—whether it’s the silliness of the sound effects or the little rush you get when you’re the first to clear your hand. By the end, everyone’s cheeks are sore from laughing, and you’ll already be itching for the next round.
