Thanks so much for this video. It's so awesome to hear your mental back-and-forth. The fact that you keep getting so excited about things really brings a lot of joy and enthusiasm that is contagious!

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thanks Lucas :D You're the man!

[@patrcyjachaberska9371]

Thank you! my favorite playthroughs! I wonder why don't you have more subscribers. Videos are clean and clear :)

[@TomTeachesGames]

Well thank you so much! I’m just happy to chat with those that I do have 😀 I really appreciate such a dang nice comment!

[@toenail]

this video really helped my understand how to play this game, good job doing what you do and how you do it..

[@arvi8843]

Thank you so much for making this video. This is my first board game owned because I like birds. Watched through the whole thing and I love how you explain things 💯

[@TomTeachesGames]

Oh cool!!!! Your first board game is always SO memorable! What motivated you getting this game? Are you a Birder? (I think that's what they call themselves... my brother-in-law is not a huge gamer, but is a "Birder" and so we played this. He was obsessed with looking at the cards).

[@arvi8843]

@@TomTeachesGames My friends who are into board games suggested this because aside from me loving birds, this game is soloable, very fitting for this pandemic 😅. My games are against the Automa, but recently I was able to play this with my brother who doesn't play board games and I'm glad he enjoyed it too. Now I have the option to play this with him 🥰🦜🐦 This was both our first board game experience. Having a beginner friendly gameplay video was really helpful so thank you so much!

[@TomTeachesGames]

That is so great!!! Hopefully this becomes your first game of many!

[@vegangoth6761]

What a great video, I’ve learned a lot from this one, where other video failed to make the game as clear. Thank you

[@TomTeachesGames]

Wahoo! I'm so glad I could help! I looooooooooove me some Wingspan. The newest expansion gets here this week, and I'm so excited!

[@toddgrx]

love your commentary, especially when you discover your mistakes 57:50... just as entertaining as the game play itself.

[@TomTeachesGames]

😂 Thanks! I’m glad you feel that way... because I made some doozies on my newest gameplay video I’m making.... haha

[@abhaynaik9320]

Excellent job explaining this game.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@susanscandles]

Another great video. Have heard great things about this game.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Oh man, I tell ya.... this game is just such a “delight” to play. I don’t know how else to describe it.... but it’s beautiful, and the components are soooooo good, and it is thinkey in all the right ways. I really really really am loving this game right now. AND, it had a fantastic solo mode, so I have been playing it a lot.

Subscribed. I am a solo player from the UK. Thsnks.

[@rmsgrey]

Went to play Gloomhaven for 5-6 hours in the middle of watching this video, so I may have missed some subtle errors, but the only thing I picked up on was the Blue Jay - which I think says you need to take the grain from the birdfeeder if available, rather than from the supply. Obviously, taking an extra die out would have messed with the timing of the rerolls of the food supply, but I think every time either there was grain available anyway, or you could have chosen differently and left grain available without disrupting your plans for the food (either you were discarding the grain and another to substitute for something else, or you used a grain/worm face when there was a worm face left).

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thanks a million! Sorry, I thought I had responded to this.... it’s been a long week....

[@aikoll6439]

Thank you very much!!

[@SD_Marc]

Thank you! Just got the game and this is the first video, of many I've watched, that made any sense to me. Now I just need to teach my gf.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Dude! Thanks so much! I’m glad it was helpful! And teaching it can be a little tricky.... when I teach new players I just Always repeat the 4 actions and ask what they want to do. Then I help them with the cube-placement and movement the first couple of rounds.... but I’d love to hear how it goes for you!

[@SD_Marc]

@@TomTeachesGames hey, I got to run my girlfriend through the game today. It took a round or too for her to realize how it's actually pretty simple. I think all the cards and tokens and things were a little overwhelming, but once it clicked she enjoyed it a lot. She even got the different strategies one could adopt. So... Thank you!

[@TomTeachesGames]

I'm so glad that it ended up clicking! Did she enjoy it? I really really love that game so much... I feel like I want to go play it again asap...

[@SD_Marc]

@@TomTeachesGames she did like it. She even won our game. After watching your video yesterday, I played a two-person game like you did in the video, so I felt pretty comfortable walking her through it. And it went smoothly. Do, she's fully on board (no pun...). Great video. Thanks again.

[@itsjustchris5412]

Could you do the solo variant and expansion for this game? 😬 absolutely awesome.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Hmmmm..... that’s not a bad idea.... I don’t know how soon I can get to it, but I really do think that would be fun! I play the solo variant a lot, and have the expansion.... let me put it on my list! I have a TON of stuff going on right now, so be patient with me. But I think this could be very doable.

[@ningaubleotse171]

Not a theme for me, but appreciate the playthrough. Thanks, Tom!

[@TomTeachesGames]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching and, as per usual, commenting. You’re pretty rad.

[@thebeardedmike]

It looks like you got a new camera? Or is this game just THAT beautiful?

[@TomTeachesGames]

I definitely don’t have a new camera 😂 Still using my iPhone 6.... that game is just gorgeous

[@chriselbers3771]

Yes indeed a Typo at 53:10....The correct name is oologist! Oology (or oölogy) is a branch of ornithology studying bird eggs, nests and breeding behaviour.

[@TomTeachesGames]

I appreciate that! I want to pretend I’m smart and would have caught that by myself.... but I’ve never ever heard that word before. The only reason I was slightly-aware was that Jamey Steigmeier (how do you spell that?) mentioned it himself.... but I love learning things, so I’m glad to add a new word to my brain matter.

[@toddgrx]

Red player could have added a "bird card" under his Horned Lark when blue player played a Painted Bunting in the field at 21:42

[@TomTeachesGames]

Oh! Great catch! Thanks a million! I’m annotating that right now.....
