Game Review for The Birds and The Beavers

Alana Tush

Was it fun?

Yes I really enjoyed this game, you don’t have to think much, so it is a nice game to play while catching up with friends.

What were the player interactions?

I enjoyed when you land on an exclamation mark, you have to challenge one of you opponents by rolling a higher number on the dice or lose a life.

How long did it take to learn?

This game was easy to learn so it didn’t take much time

Would you play it again?

Yes I would play this again!

What are the collaborative and or competitive aspects of the game?

You collaborate with your team member to collect all of the items need for making a birds nest, to a beaver dam. The competitive aspects are challenging your opponents when you land on an exclamation mark, and making it back to the home base to drop off your collected items to build your house.

What is the game’s metaphor and which of the game’s mechanics standout?

I liked the little game pieces we had to move throughout the game. Maybe in a more developed version, you can make the items than need collecting a more functional piece instead of paper.

  1. I like the concept of birds and beavers in this game. Both animals that implement structural integrity, whether through air or water. Interesting competition.

  2. Yes I agree, making the pieces out of something else would be helpful. They were hard to pick up at times
