In Fly-A-Way, players are conservationists helping migratory birds along their autumn journey on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF) that spans from Russia in the North, through Asia, to Australia in the South.

To win, a player must collect the most number of points from placing links, completing migratory routes and saving birds. Players will compete until the game stops under one of these two circumstances:

1. A player saves 6 birds.
2. All Fowl Play cards are drawn.
