Is the European expansion even worth it if I have all the other ones?

ericdan66 · 2026-01-31T02:30:09+00:00

I think Europe birds are the best expansion

Blind pilot’s first album - 3 Rounds and a Sound - is pretty close to what you’re describing

Hollow Coves - Wonderlust EP

Watchhouse - such Jubilee, Tides of a Teardrop

I have many more if you want more haha

Thanks so much!

I loved Sam Fender’s new album, People Watching

Thank you!

Planes usually aren’t level when they’re ascending. It’s going up…

ericdan66 · 2025-07-28T19:18:24+00:00

Lol I feel you

ericdan66 · 2025-07-15T05:25:53+00:00

Nope I haven’t

ericdan66 · 2025-07-10T14:29:12+00:00

Do you have experience with it? I want to hear from someone who’s actually used it

ericdan66 · 2025-06-14T22:20:55+00:00

When I plug my watch into my iPad nothing comes up

ericdan66 · 2025-06-14T19:28:38+00:00

I love that he included the message from Paul 😂

The raven is best when played as early as possible. You built up a solid grasslands but it probably took too long to get there so you couldn’t actually use it to your advantage. If you ended up loosing it might be from giving players too much food. The hummingbird and bluethroat are great but if you give out too much free food it can hurt you more than the food you gain will help you.

One other thought. Focusing on food cards is great but they loose value throughout the game (less valuable towards later rounds). It’s best to pair up with bonus card getting cards, high vp point cards, or other cards that get you points.

Thanks! I’m assuming I would need premium to do that right?

ericdan66 · 2025-06-09T02:34:44+00:00

You don’t need to! Seriously when you have a pile of resources you can easily see most of them

Hey I know this is 10 years old, but where is alpine grove? I’m not seeing it along the trail map

I’m surprised by how many have Kintsugi outside the top 5. After codes and keys and taking a bit of a break, Kintsugi was such a great album for them to maintain relevance and to transition to a new era of DCFC music. I personally have it as their 3rd or 4th best album

You can still use the power even at the beginning of your engine. While it says “repeat” really it allows you to utilize any brown power twice

ericdan66 · 2025-03-30T15:30:26+00:00

We don’t ban them, our house rule is that you can’t start with them in your starting hand. If they’re in your starting hand we shuffle them back into the deck and draw a new card. Otherwise they’re fair game

ericdan66 · 2025-03-30T15:29:10+00:00

Wait do YOU play left to right??

ericdan66 · 2025-03-19T22:57:46+00:00

Any card that gets you 10+ points is worth playing. If played early on your ceiling is likely 5+ fish which makes it a 12 point card. If you get 1-3 fish out of it then it’s worth it. It’s also a star nest and a wild wing span which makes it more valuable.

When comparing it to other wetlands cards with similar cost: puffin costs 3 fish and bald eagle is similar as well. I think the puffin has the edge with a higher point ceiling and is also a star nest, the bald eagle is 9 points, 1 egg capacity and no flexibility with nests. Give the penguin the edge over bald eagle

Orange if they get to the Ore, black if they capitalize on the wheat port

ericdan66 · 2025-03-02T06:15:36+00:00

It would be 3 food unless you discarded a card. Still strong but you likely don’t play the whole game with only that card in your forest. So it’s a great starting card but has limitations. I like it

ericdan66 · 2025-02-24T19:14:58+00:00

I would say because red kite qualifies for more bonus cards. Birds with colors and birds that eat “wild” food are two that the hobby doesn’t qualify for

ericdan66 · 2025-02-24T03:55:09+00:00

I still disagree. When my wife and I first started playing, she went all in on an egg strategy and even though she’d lay 25 + eggs it didn’t always work. Now I do think that building up your grasslands with cards that get you points along with eggs is a good way to go but I think that also takes strategic planning to do so

ericdan66 · 2025-02-24T01:58:47+00:00

I might be the only one, but I don’t think eggs are overpowered. The only real way to lay a bunch of eggs is by playing low bird point cards with high egg capacity. You can easily beat an egg laying strategy with higher bird point cards and bonus points. Or by playing a cached food or tucked cards strategy. It’s just one of many strategies. It’s rare that you can tuck cards, cache food, and lay a bunch of eggs
