Ypy could've played the brant to gain 3 birds quickly

great game! Did you consider drawing the raven with your owl first turn instead of using the empty wetland?

come on full wetland specialist opportunity lost

Nice game! R2, was surprised with Sacred Kingfisher play. With Pileated already in hand you are going to have a good forest engine so you are going to have a lot of food. If you went Food first, you could go Snowy Owl (get egg) immediately into Pileated. You would also avoid giving him a free egg with Cuckoo. Hard to tell he is going so tuck heavy at that point, but I think Sacred is probably not worth it after R1, even with Rodentologist. Condor I thought was rushed to play. Didn't provide any benefit to get it down early. Unfortunate card draw for you whole game, especially given how many cards you saw. Opponent had a great board, so was a pretty uphill battle.

Holy buckets

Great video as always Mr waffle

Curious why you didn't play the Finch at the end with the Yellowhammer and then play the Godwit off of that? Good game!

You should've played Goldfinch b4 gaining food so u could've gained one more food

You should've gave up first round for playing storm petrol for free eggs on star nest

You also cost yourself a point because Plains Wanderer would have been 4th enclosure bird for 4 points (rather than Viti for 3)

never seen food being SO impactful

Could've gotten another egg with the Say's Pheobe on the chipping sparrow if you played it first

Could've gotten another breeding manager point if you laid on the meadowlark instead of Robin. So close!

Kingfisher was a omni, had 4 egg spots, & was star nest

I would've started with the red knot instead of the goldeneye

You should've tucked parie chicken as it cant b played

Huge oof in that first round, but some good draws R2. Nice game

Aah... another start of the day, with a new Wingspangame to watch 🎉

Slower down buddy. You can always edit!

In the early part of the game, you should've just tucked the min under mane duck so not choose a good card to get rid of

I think not getting the Snow Bunting down sooner was a mistake. You missed 4 points and 4 draws that could potentially have benifitted you. The Heron seems to have distracted you. It is a big point bird but did nothing for your engine and cost a lot of food. In the last round, you could have played the lapwing for food instead of getting food twice.

Hornbill in your starting hand was a tuck card for your Bonus.

GG! Really nice that you divided the video into chapters. I know it's extra work but as a viewer it is so nice. Keep up the good Wingspan content ;o)

Thoughts on keeping the vulture from opening hand?

Got excited end of round 3 when you were going back because I though it was to use the Noisy Miner instead of skipping😂 2 points net with the tuck and egg, plus 3 more for qualifying for the end of round… costly skip!

I would've probably played the green parot in the wetlands since you needed to regularly draw cards for noisy minor to tuck and build out wetlands some

I wonder how you would have done score wise by playing the swallow in the grassland, with the crow and Junco I feel like you didn't need to go the forest at all.

Play raven, lay eggs and then play flycatcher was maybe worth it? In r4 you could then have played the Stork, roadrunner and vireo+warbler while also getting eggs points (and possible roadrunner tucks) GG anyway!

Toward end of game grabbing a split face seed meant you couldn't get a worm with indigo bunting which would have made warbler three extra points vs heron.

That warbler that you picked up at the end would get you an extra 2 points thanks to nest box builder getting to score.

Love your videos! I am bit confused on how you count points of birds, why did you say killdeer is -1?

Should have just taken all cards and played bonelli in forest

Not keeping benallies eagle was a bold move I probably wouldn't have passed in especially with rodentologist as it is a 14pt bird minus egg cost

I can't believe that you beat a double raven combo in two habitats...well done!

Pill-ee-ay-ted

Yu should've forced down the night heron so when u drew cards yu could've traded a egg for food

You should have gone for rodentologist bonus card, which would have you gotten 5 more points than the wetland scientist. I would have put the raven in grassland, since I could still throw away a card to pick up four food. It would have given you one more point.

Fun game to watch! A fun idea, I'm not sure if good or not, is put the nightingale in the forest and sling nectar so your parrot always hits?

This is something I see a lot of players do - play a bird as soon as they can, not as late as they can. You could have held the skimmer until the 2nd to last turn to play. Firstly to keep it a secret from the opponent to avoid counter plays, and secondly to possibly draw a better bird from the barn swallow. As it happens you got counter played immediately, and the warbler or running the engine would have netted you more points. Also you drew the egret which could have been a last turn play with the skimmer - but I haven’t done the math on if that’s more points since you’d be spending more eggs and not tucking under the crane as much.

I would've left the tray alone when bad cards and stashed extra seeds to force birds down

Good game! Was surprised to see the Snowy Owl didn’t get any love at the end. Synergizes well with the Malleefowl and you could have played both while still laying eggs rather than gaining food.

Wow what a game. I find these the most difficult when you find lots of good cards for different habitats. Although I like the route you chose, perhaps the raven could've worked out in the wetland. Maybe something to consider. GG!

Unfortunate but happens to the best of us. Thanks for still uploading

Wacky end game for sure, but take a breather and bounce back

I'm a bit surprised you put the Nighting Gale in the wetlands when you could force him to always have a nectar for the PaRrot to duplicate

You really had me screaming at my screen here. A ten minute turn with no chance of playing both birds (unless he had a nectar in his supply). 😅 Good luck in the next game!

Even though they are expensive, the horned owl and red tailed shouldve been drawed for rodentologist especially after crow was drawn

I actually think that would have been better if you did house wren warbler double play round 2 instead of condo warbler.

Would have kept 4 birds not goose from starting hand and picked up bee eater first round.

Very difficult game to play! On the turn you took 1 nectar in case it got stolen so you could take the nectar, if you take 2 nectar there and he steal 1 then you still end up with 1 nectar and 1 worm so I think it's always better to take both, unless you're planning not to play a bird next turn
