I actually was going to watch that first video. I like his videos on board games. Him and Tom Vasel are who I watch if I want a physical board game. I figured i should maybe watch one of them for this game. Thanks again for your great reply !! Update: Picking it up now. Looking forward to giving it a go this eve.

Because Holy @&$ !!! This is amazing. I love digital board games and have a few faves for sure. This just sky rocketed to the top 1-3. (Not sure if I it’s fair to mention other games in someone’s thread..). I have only played the tutorial but that doesn’t matter. It’s so amazing. The tutorial like others said is very informative and leaves you with almost nothing to question. They leave you with enough to finish that you feel like it was your win lol . It was so fun to play. I just finished and came right here to report. Took an hour to have a nice coffee and chillll session while at the cottage and I didn’t want to go back to the fam lol. Wanted to play another. Everything was awesome. From the full presentation of graphics sound and atmosphere. The gameplay is way easier then it looks from first view. Flows beautifully. I will be adding this to my physical collection as well. Buying now on amazon as I love a hood board game collection. (Lol if you can’t tell I’m a collector. Have an amazing man cave I could share somewhere someday). This game is simply amazing and not to be missed. Don’t look at the price tag and say it’s expensive. Maybe for iOS silly prices but for what you really get here it’s a steal. Can’t say enough good things about my first experience. Soooo good. Congrats to the developers. And Thank You @ShinHadoukin for pushing me over the edge and @djstout and @Talbs for posting this thread. Two more names I’m very familiar with. Love that I finally after 13 years or more spoke out lol. Thanks again Toucharcade !! Btw only site or forum I ever check and therefore trust. Update: I just noticed my phone battery is 19% I only played this and one other game today. So it’s quite possible this is a battery eater. I’ll see if I can confirm this. But I’m still very happy! Batteries on iPhone are never great so who really knows why. I’m also at a cottage and service is rocky so is the wifi so I can’t be sure if it’s the phone or the game. aussiepaul, Gambler, LordGek and 1 other person like this. justelvis81 Active Member Feb 25, 2016 43 13 8 #14 justelvis81, Jul 22, 2021 This game is a very hungry battery eater on my phone at least. Seems to go down 1% every minute or so. I have reached out to the Dev about the issue and they said they are working on a battery saving mode which is great news! They said in the mean time if you turn off the bird animations it will help. Totally agree with you about it being absolutely fantastic, just wish I could play it longer without my phone getting hot and the battery drain problem. elcrazy and Talbs like this. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 513 367 63 #15 elcrazy, Jul 23, 2021 Last edited: Jul 23, 2021 Got a chance to play a second game and just wow is this awesome. So much fun. I thought I was killing it too. Had a great set up. So many bird points. Thought I had done well with eggs (till I spent a few lol) but really thought I had the victory….. nope killed on everything basically lol. But still so great. Can’t wait to play again. But ya battery killer. Even with animations off this kills battery fast. I’m good though. I played plugged in this time . I also love that you can save all stats from previous games and go look back to see everything. Everything about this game oozes polish. Extremely high recommendation on this one. Update: Sat and played a third game. Won this one is basically all areas. Still have only played medium ai and only vs one opponent. Game is just so good. Gonna fire it up again.

Am I the only not viewing what cards my opponents played?!? I’m on Iphone 11. Each time I swap to my opponent board there is nothing so I cannot see what birds they played… elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 513 367 63 #17 elcrazy, Jul 23, 2021 Update: Played another two full games. Really getting the hang of different methods. Special abilities can be huge. I just won a game by finally having lots of eggs lol. I got 9 eggs on my final turn. 5 because I was full in grassland and 4 because of a power which let me make 2 eggs and another power which let me copy one of my other powers so I made 2 more. Also used a card so I could put down two birds in one turn and steal the bonus points for that round on last turn. This game is all about setting yourself up for the final rounds. But still making sure you’re getting points everywhere. They all come in to play. Sooo good. Sorry thought I edited and added to my last post. Didn’t mean to make another. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 513 367 63 #18 elcrazy, Jul 23, 2021 Last edited: Jul 23, 2021 I have not had that issue at all. I switch to the other player and can see everything they have done. I can switch to each of their lands and see or use the bottom button to see the overall stats for them. Maybe send developer a message. Someone in here did about battery and they heard back. Or try a re-install maybe ? Sorry I can’t be of any help. Other then that I don’t have that issue at all.

This is a fantastic app. While I still love the tactile feel of the physical game, this app is high quality. I love that I can play online multiplayer in both timed and asynchronous modes, automa, and against the AI in multiplayer as well. elcrazy likes this. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 513 367 63 #20 elcrazy, Jul 24, 2021 Last edited: Jul 25, 2021 Small but after update . After you finish a game it locks with results on the screen and you can’t see the exit or save buttons. I found out they do work if you click around but it’s not ideal lol.

Something probably touched on in the tutorial that I missed was that adding birds to the three habitats directly enhances that habitat's game function (i.e. the more forest birdies you have the more food you can gather in a feeding action or the more birds you have in the field, the more eggs you'll lay when performing the egg-laying action).
