I had a chance to play against my husband, and I loved it! Somehow, I managed to collect bird tokens in a way that worked out for me, especially with a sand business upgrade that gave me victory points for duplicates. Very helpful!

We didn’t use the standee bases, and I had a lot of trouble seeing the cottages and shops. Definitely will be using those every time in the future! Although I don’t think this one quite works for me as a solo experience, it’s sticking around as a pleasant sort of 2-player game for the time being. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you continue to enjoy playing it, too!

For solo I enjoy how quickly it plays. I could usually smash out two plays in about an hour.
From my experience 3-5 bird tokens is great. Whenever I’ve leant to hard into them I’ve been punished. I think they exist as a little incentive to break up your movement strategically.
I love your standee idea! I completely agree the cardboard tokens are hard to see on the board.
I also love the card based movement in the game. It feels strategic without being too restrictive. The amount of times I’ve wished I’d planned my movement just a little more carefully feel good. That’s often my incentive for trying to improve.
Thanks for the lovely review.
