A Brutal Game of Hummingbirds

Welcome to the garden. The nectar’s sweet. The competition? Savage. In Hover, you play as hummingbirds thirsty for nectar and a mate. Fight, flirt, and outmaneuver your feathered frenemies to build a nest, win a mate, and secure your legacy — all in under 45 minutes.

We're launching soon!

Based on Real Hummingbird Behavior

They’re cute. They’re fast. They’re complete jerks.
Hover is modeled on real territorial and surprisingly violent hummingbird behavior. You’ll sneak, steal, and strike — just like a real bird in the wild.

Easy to Learn. Hard to Master. Ruthless in Between.

This isn’t your grandma’s bird game (Though honestly, she'd probably destroy you at it).

Outfly, outmaneuver, or outwit your opponents to gain energy, build your nest, and perform a successful courting call. But beware, hummingbirds don’t share. If you’re in someone’s territory, you’d better be ready to throw down.

Species-Specific Strategy

Each hummingbird comes with its own asymmetrical abilities inspired by unique characteristics of each species. Want to win? You’ll need to play like your bird actually would.

Setup in 2 Minutes. Explained in 6.

Hover is designed to get even your most distracted friends playing and cursing with:

✅ Minimal components

✅ Clear, intuitive rules

✅ Instant tactical satisfaction

Hand-Drawn Artwork That Slaps. Or Sips.

Every card is hand-drawn (by my wife!) and designed to feel like a poster-worthy piece from the MoMA gift shop. You’ll frame them. You’ll flaunt them. You’ll get distracted admiring your own bird while someone else tears apart your nest.

We're launching soon!

For nature junkies with a competitive streak... just like us

We're Ibis Tea (yeah it's a weird name). We're a family that makes games. Victor designs them. Shawna illustrates them. We love random nature facts and that slight touch of chaos with competitive strategy. If you like similar things, we think you'd love Hover. 😊
