Beautifully written! I had the experience once of an in-person game where the cursed visionary leader was drawn mid-game and somehow dovetailed with an all-wetlands strategy that maxed it out at the end, resulting in victory. It was a lot of fun! I also enjoyed the name of the card and liked picking...

It's a nice card but no more than that. In certain combos it is particularly potent. I'll usually take a crow over it.

1. Crow powers: discard egg for any food. Applicable any time in the meadow in most cases, in the wetland (on a crow) in certain occasions if you can get eggs elsewhere. 2. Tuck-and-lay: The only brown power that generates 2 points per turn. Requires and consumes extra cards, so it's most usable in ...

There has been a recent UI change it seems (I don't know, buttons look different to me) and it is also causing the site to break when I attempt to zoom in, making it nearly impossible to use on phone. It might be related as this looks cosmetic as well, and feels like an unintended consequence. Like ...

Red-headed Woodpecker? I heard many people say it's a bad card for it's high cost and low point value. Yes, it's far down the ideal list, but I mentioned it as an Omnivore-qualifying bird that can go in the wetland. There are games where it's the only or best of the starting birds you have access t...

I think the average I get is like 1-2 birds, so usually 4 pts. max. Hm, maybe it's down to your feel of when it's good to select them. I would say 4 points isn't bad; it's not common to be sure at the start that completing any bonus is worth the trouble. That's what makes Forester appealing sometim...

I just got 124 in a 3 player game and got curious how high do players score. My 124 game in case you're interested: https://boardgamearena.com/tableview?table=881310051 Very nice! I don't know how to search for this but that kind of score is rare to see. I've encountered >120 a handful of times. Ev...

For me bonuses are mostly situational rather than easily tiered. That is, many bonuses are viable but at the point where deciding "what's better" is relevant (mainly at the start of the game) it depends so much on starting hand and round goals. With a few notably weak ones as you mention: ...

At least on my display the end of round scoresheet changed recently. I used to be able to tell who was in the lead and by how much, but now it often looks like a tie when it's not - and I have to manually count the scores. Did I inadvertently change something or is this a BGA change. If it's a BGA ...

And remember that luck plays a role. Here is a game where I had a fish crow early, messed up big in the last round, should have lost but scraped by one point. https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=858333604 Never mind the early game stuff, the last five turns is where I had a big decision to make a...
