Fun bird themed board game
This game takes a bit of time to comprehend (we resorted to a YouTube tutorial, haha), but once you grasp the gameplay, it becomes incredibly enjoyable! The bird theme is both hilarious and adorable, and we thoroughly enjoy playing it! It’s highly creative and original!

Overwhelming & Exhausting Game
This game was so frustrating and convoluted. It was very hard to understand the gameplay and we had two people playing with us who had played a few times prior and still were having a hard time explaining everything. Ultimately, we wasted 4 hours playing with 5 players in total and no one seemed to be having any fun by the end. The artwork was cute, but all in all, I’m lucky we weren’t the ones who spent $65 on such an exhausting game.

Love this game!
I love this game so much. I saw a review on here that people didn’t understand the game… that’s hard for me to understand. It’s so beautifully balanced and lovely. My 65 year old old mother who is not a gamer at all got the hang of it quickly. Packaged as pictured. I would say it takes a couple plays to really get the hang of it, and then you’ll be wanting to play all the time!

Always entertaining!
It is on the pricey side, but, once you play the game, you will see it is highly re-playable...without feeling repetitive! The cards are filled with artistic drawings of real-world bird. Well made and and good quality components. I have spent many nights playing it.
Interesting collaboration

Super fun! Single player is hard!
Super fun board game for lovers of strategy and beautiful artwork. Game is a bit complex to learn right off the bat, but an absolute blast once you understand the mechanics. Takes about 2 games to get the hang of it. There is also a Steam version of the game from the publisher which is great for playing when on the go.

Great game
One of the best games! Such a fun way to learn about the different bird species! The length of the game is just right. I recommend watching the how to play video which was very helpful vs reading the instructions. Comes with lots of little game pieces! Only complaint is that the bags that the pieces came in were ripped but those are easy to replace. Really fun game!

BUY! <3
This is the best game! My family plays it a few times a month. Maybe more! We play with 4 people. Everyone always has something to do in this game. Other people’s birds have certain actions that you benefit from but you have to look! The other player may not tell you! It’s so fun. I honestly love how beautiful it is and how easy it is to setup and put away. Great quality box, which helps a lot with our avid use! Get it. You won’t regret it at all! Other board games that my family enjoys (for reference so you know it’s your style): settlers of catan, splendor, azul, clank.

Components not as pictured
This is a new edition or version of the game. The components are not as pictured. The new more eco friendly components feel very cheap and we were very disappointed since we typically play on my parents original version. The box looks the same and the Target website pictures are of the previous version. There is no indication that the components will be different when you purchase the game from Target.

Super great game!!
Such a fun and well made game!! My husband is now into birdwatching because of it 😆 only negative thing I have to say is some of the containers inside to hold pieces while playing/storing aren’t organized how we’d prefer, but not a huge deal.
