What players say

I wish they would add more expansions to this game, like in wingspan there are more expansions. Just like there are new rules and new types of birds, I wish this games have new themes, like winter, autumn, summer, spring. easter, halloween, lovecraft, anime, magic etc. This is just like the DLCs in Wingspan, that each have their own rules.

The game is cute, relaxing, and good value imo. Some of the story puzzles are decently challenging (but they can become a bit tedious as well). A similar gripe is that once you really understand the game, it doesn't remain especially challenging. I also wish there were more live players for it. typically, you will just end up with Ai. Complaints aside, I still gave it a thumbs up because ultimately, it can be easily...
