I remember when some complained that the bird strategy was weaker, and while it is in dartmoor, it’s still fairly balanced with all the other strategies. And that’s the point, we want a game where everyone can pick a different strategy and all potentially win, you can’t do that in the original, if everyone picks a different strategy in the original the player who goes deer strategy always wins. So in reality the bird strategy is still strong, because you can still win focusing on birds and the cards that work with birds. That said one of the new cards is like the blanket bog, except it doubles the points of the birds on it. Now sure since most of the birds have a max scoring of 10 it’s not going to be as powerful as the blanket bog. However if you are also working on bats or dragonflies their are 2 birds who could potentially score more than 10 points, perhaps maybe scoring 32 points or more thanks to the new moor. And we haven’t seen all the new cards, so there could be a new bird that can score higher than 10 points.
Still it’s not like it’s just gonna make birds stronger, I saw a shrub for reptiles. A new dragonfly of course. Some new rodents, another bird that scores on rodents. And one of the rodents is the dormouse, I’m sure it’s basically the same as the original, works with bats. And like I said we haven’t seen everything new yet, only 14 of the cards have been revealed. 4 of which were moors and one a shrub. So only 9 animals and plants were revealed.
The only question is it 55 new types of cards or 55 cards? Because I did the math, and if you look at the amount of each revealed card the number goes to like 48 or 49 leaving only room for 2 unrevealed cards.
