A new board game is all about the birds:
✖ A new game about photographing birds is coming to tabletop game stores. Birdwatcher is a new game published by Oni Games and Renegade Game Studios in which players attempt to lure birds out into the open so that they can be photographed for points. Players can take three actions each turn, which includes calling birds to the"player's tree," taking photos of a bird, and publishing findings about a bird to maximize points.
Surprisingly, Birdwatcher isn't the first game that involves watching birds. One of the biggest board games in recent memory, Wingspan, is all about luring birds to specific nature reserves in order to score victory points. One key difference between Wingspan and Birdwatcher is that the former is an engine-builder game in which players build combo chains, while Birdwatcher focuses on set collection.
0commentsBirdwatcher was originally funded via a successful Kickstarter campaign last fall, where it raised over $50,000. However, the game now has a wider retail release planned for later this year. You can pre-order the game from Renegade Games. The game will have a retail price of $40.00.
