About

Birdería

Birdería is a Thunderbird version of Lotería, the Mexican card game played in homes and plazas for generations. A caller turns over cards, players mark matching pictures with beans, and someone shouts out when they've won.

The deck has 54 original cards drawn from Thunderbird life: El Pub, El Primer Martes, El Thunder Dog, La Visa, El Pasaporte and many more.

This app handles the shuffling, dealing and bookkeeping. It leaves everything else to the people in the room. A real person calls the cards and checks every claim. You're allowed to make mistakes.

Who made this

Birdería is a creative project by Kellie Kreiser: strategist, researcher, creative technologist and keeper of far too many side projects. It started as a custom Thunderbird Lotería deck, built one card at a time, and somewhere along the way it grew into a live app a whole room can play at once.

If it made your night a little louder, coffee is always appreciated.
