ah, apartment living. the symphony of your neighbour's questionable music taste, the mystery smell in the hallway, and now... the kabutar. oh, not just any kabutar, mind you. this is a feathered overlord, a relentless architect of avian anarchy, who has unilaterally decided your building is its personal canvas... primarily using poop. welcome to kabutar, the hilariously frantic and surprisingly strategic turn-based card game where your sanity hinges on confronting this ridiculous bird! forget peace and quiet; your primary objective in this hilarious party game is navigating a minefield of neighbourly suspicion, paranoia, and an alarming amount of guano. can you survive the communal chaos and emerge victorious, or at least, slightly less pooped upon?
designed for 3-6 players (perfect for game nights with adults, teens, and friends aged 14 and up), the goal seems simple: use your cunning and hunt cards to accuse your neighbours. after all, someone must be secretly harbouring the winged terror in their apartment, right? point that finger! but tread carefully, investigator. draw too much attention, accuse too loudly, and the manipulative kabutar might just flutter into your flat, charming you (or perhaps just intimidating you) into hiding and protecting it. suddenly, you're the enemy within, desperately trying to deflect suspicion while the evidence... mounts. this clever twist adds layers of bluffing and social deduction to the engaging gameplay.
every turn is a critical choice in this fast-paced card game. do you risk going on the hunt? do you spend precious actions cleaning up the inevitable mess before your will to stay plummets? or do you strategically hide, hoping the spotlight passes you by? and then there's the poop – oh yes, the poop is not merely a card; it's a force of nature in this game, an unavoidable consequence of the kabutar's reign, constantly reminding everyone of the stakes. featuring 52 uniquely illustrated cards, each dripping with wit and capturing the unique theme of this urban struggle, kabutar delivers quick (15-20 minute) rounds packed with laughter, tension, and high replayability. hiding, hunting, and cleaning are choices you make; the poop is simply inevitable. gather your most resilient friends and family, embrace the absurdity, and find out who can outlast the hilarious avian onslaught in this award-winning (meeplecon india's best party game 2024) social game sensation! prepare for the ultimate test of neighbourly relations – prepare for kabutar!

Amazing game. So so engrossing. Really recommend it. Kabutar is one of those rare games that hooks you from the very first round. So many twists and turns. Really engaging.
Someone got high and created this game without much thought !! illustrations are good thats all. The game has ambiguous end points and isnt clear at all.. its just a concept , not a proper card game.
new addition to family game nights and it’s been a joy playing this game! i personally love the illustrations on it, and the gameplay is fun and easy to understand. would recommend!!
It’s the perfect pick for a game night. I love that it can make you laugh but also think and strategize at the same time. Every round is full of laughter, accusations and plot twists. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to bring fun mixed with chaos and lots of drama to the table!
Very surprised with this unassuming indie game. Received my copy last week on a Saturday, carried it with me to a friend’s place for the night-out. It was an immediate hit. We played 4-5 games one after the other well into the night. It does not take long to play, the longest round for us was 30 minutes, and the cards are very witty and humorous. It’s going to be my house-party staple. definitely recommended.
Very good card game.
I hope this type of card game should come out .
Genuine incredible fantastic game.
I'm happy.
Just played this game over the weekend with the fam, and it was a riot! It kicks off with someone saying, “The turn starts with someone who looks like a kabutar.” 😂 Instant mood-lifter
It was hilarious when I got my mom to admit that her son looks the most like a kabutar—LOL!
I especially loved it cause Mom and Dad, who usually avoid card games (unless it’s the old-school deck), jumped right in!
It's easy to teach, quick to play, and guaranteed giggles and fights!
The pace is relaxed enough for a cozy weekend, but still full of those playful twists and turns—a real roller‑coaster without the stress.
We have played this game with different sets of people. First time was at a family get-together. And it is always a surprise hit. What stood out right away was how quick it was to learn. The rules are really straightforward, so we didn’t waste time trying to figure things out — we were playing within minutes. Even people who don’t usually play board games got into it without any trouble. It was such a hit that my sister-in-law took it with her to UK as a gift for her husband. This is our second deck :)
The game feels light and silly at first, but once you get into it, there’s actually a good amount of thinking involved. You’re always making small decisions — whether to push your luck, stay quiet, or try to shift attention to someone else. But it never gets too serious. There’s a nice balance between strategy and just having fun.
The theme is pretty clever — it’s based on this annoying bird that keeps causing problems in an apartment building — and honestly, it felt familiar in a funny way. The card designs are funny and well thought out. A lot of laughs came just from reading what was on the cards.
What I liked most was that the game moves fast. No one’s stuck waiting for their turn too long, and there’s always something happening. Even when it’s not your turn, you’re still paying attention because someone might play something that affects you. And every game we played felt a bit different. The variety in the cards makes it hard to predict what’s going to happen next.
The artwork is nice and has a lot of character. It adds to the fun without trying too hard. Overall, it’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still gives you enough to think about so you stay engaged. Good mix of humor, interaction, and light strategy.
Definitely one of those games that works well with friends or family, especially if you just want to relax and have some laughs together.
Rules are somewhat ambiguous, playing it with my regular boardgaming friend, we kept fighting against the rules revisiting the manual again and again
Highly confusing game, not worth the buy.
The rules are not straight forward and it took a long time to understand it but with lot of flaws
Too complicated game and not worth the price, will recommend not to buy, waste of money.
Something different and fun to play.
Perfect for long weekends, parties, or anytime you’re in the mood for some lighthearted fun. The card artwork is beautiful
Poor instruction/guide. Not much engaging.
A fun and quick game. Good quality cards and beautiful illustrations. Love the Indian context. Nice to see local creators devising some awesome stuff!
Easy to understand, fun game for nightouts and when friends come over!!
Wonderful game. beautiful art, funny writing! get someone to play a round and they will be hooked!!
loads of strategy for card game lovers, great food for thought. most importantly, it's something new to play!
Such a funny game! Got it for a weekend party and had the best time. The illustrations are so cute, and even the text is hilarious. Gets your brain working - 10/10, highly recommended!
Amazing game and what an amazing quality of the card material!
Definitely a fun game to play with family, completely value for money!
This is a fun game. I wish it would be feasible among 2 players
I recently discovered a card game on Amazon called Kabutar. I was looking for something distinct and unique for my house party, and it certainly met my expectations. Aside from our shared dislike for kabutar, this game is straightforward, unique, and incredibly enjoyable. I had a fantastic time playing this game with my friends, and it was an absolute success. Do not hesitate; buy it, and believe me, you will not regret playing it. I appreciate the team for creating such a unique game
I don’t think there has been an Indian party game so fun in a long time in the market. To make foes, sorry, kabutars, out of friends truly is a fun activity.
My entire family from my 10 year old nephew (who was in tears hahaha!) to my 65 year old father everyone played. Also once the rhythm is set it can take away hours from you.
The game is of really great quality and the artwork but it's really confusing to explain to someone for learning the game, as the rules are quite vague for some parts
Then too pricey for 500rs for a deck of cards :(
Wonderful game to play with friends and family.
Nice card game
The product description said 200 cards, but I only got 52. False advertising for a highly overpriced product.
I wish the rules were a little more detailed. But its a really fun game to play with friends
Little complicated. A walkthrough video will good for understanding.
The idea behind the card game is good and fun. It may apeal to people of all ages. The quality of the cards seems fine. Although, there is ambiguity when it comes to some rules.
Overall, it seem unwise to spend such an amount.
