Birdwatcher - Kickstarter Preview

[@bearhustler]

Ooooooh pretty! Some elements did make me think of the bird-themed card game Piepmatz.

[@abby2872]

A little late to the party, but so glad I caught this. Great coverage of a beautiful game. Thanks Monique and Naveen!

[@Tabletop_AshleyRose]

Looks like a solid set collection game!! Also- I love your bird shirt Monique!

[@SirThecos]

That's a very beautiful game! 👀 Thanks for the great preview. 😁

[@madosii3671]

This game looks adorable. Looking forward to the launch of the kickstarter

[@drendelous]

i think im in love with these two people. excellent review as usual ♥️

[@ekconley6429]

Thanks so much for the video, I've been really looking forward to this one! I see from the BGG forum there may be a solo too! 🤞 I was a bit concerned about negative player interaction in an earlier video I saw, but it doesn't look too bad! I kind of like the idea of the video being released before the campaign too. Anyway, thanks again!

[@GettinJiggly]

Just saw this today thanks to the video. Looks fun so might check it out when it launches. Hope they make the tree a little longer, since you said it can hold 6 birds but 6 cards can't fit.

I bought Wingspan just for the birds. I'm interested in this game

[@hugotavaresgomes9539]

played this game today, components now look better

Publication awards and citation points sounds like the real life game I’m currently playing called Grad student 😂

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Ohhhhh! LOL. Sounds very close to home for you haha. What are you studying?

[@rpiazza72]

@@BeforeYouPlay I’m doing a PhD in Higher Education Administration at Ohio State. Thanks for asking! I watch your play throughs while I write my dissertation. It’s like relaxing thinking music, lol. Thank you for the quality content.

[@gameon2553]

Where do you get an artist like that? I have several games but need a superb artist to do the illustrations.

[@shichahn]

Hey there, thanks so much! I had a ton of fun doing the art for this game and I'm so glad to see how much people love it!

[@Scooterspade]

eagerly awaiting the next Rosenberg series video ! :)

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Next week! We had to take a break from filming playthroughs but we have a couple lined up that includes Le Havre =)

[@SirThecos]

@@BeforeYouPlay Oh, great - that game always interested me. Looking forward to that!

[@SteveAMcPherson]

What happens if players are after the same bird for scoring a set? Or if the bird that players are after is not appearing? Can this stall the game at all?

[@KyleBorchert]

Off topic - but are you excited about Merchants of the Dark Road? Do you plan on covering it on the channel?

[@BeforeYouPlay]

We don't have it on our radar at the moment but we're intrigued by the look of the game as well as the team behind it. We'll have to look more into it! Are you looking forward to playing?

[@KyleBorchert]

@@BeforeYouPlay - Yes! I’m not a huge eurogame fan, but the art (Everdell) and simplicity of the turns immediately grabbed my attention.

[@chandramohan5105]

Feels like close to nature game. Birds with their biological names printed on card - nice feature. Monique -Like your Bird T-shirt - nice addition to this game review.

[@ylein6508]

People will tend to compare this to wingspan. This game looks less complex than wingspan as it looks like it’s just set collection with no engine/combo building?

[@bearhustler]

The theme makes slightly more sense than Wingspan.

[@shinjial]

I know that Monique is always the teach, and there's nothing wrong with the way things are, but I just caught myself thinking if Naveen would ever pick up a game and teach it or present it to us.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

We've been discussing that recently actually! Depending on his comfort levels, he may be taking some of the teach in the near future =)

[@shinjial]

@@BeforeYouPlay that's nice. You go Naveen! Maybe you can start with something small, or share some of the steps of the teach. It could work!

[@GettinJiggly]

@@BeforeYouPlay Good to see he is going to try, still have to get Adri over her nervousness and try to do some unboxings and talk a little more during our gameplays.

[@liamobrien292]

Looks like wingspan started a new bird craze in games 😝

[@bearhustler]

Piepmatz predates Wingspan.

[@wyz1324]

Rodney will want this one 🤣

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Haha you're probably right!

[@sloikalamos]

The game looks pretty, but the gameplay seems pretty shallow... Good for family though

[@gameon2553]

Weird !? It says 536 comments, then when you go in just 6.

[@onnovandijk7032]

You guys talk too fast. Hard to follow for people with English as their second language
