This review of Defenders Of The Wild is remarkable. To clarify: It's a favorable review of the game, but I'm talking about the quality of the review itself. @tombrewster.bsky.social has a fascinating take on how the game explores intersectionality to create drama. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwIR...

First attempt of Defenders of the Wild done. I lost. Pretty badly. Solo mode seems solid, but I think I played it far too aggressive, and got a lot of bad rolls on the hit dice, which ended up with bodies piling up quickly.

I don't normally play games for the narrative experience, but I'm looking forward to feeling the highs and lows of this co-op game by @henryaudubon.bsky.social (the creator of Cosmoctopus!) and T.L. Simons. And I can't lie--the art by Meg Lemieur may have captured my interest, too. #boardgames

Feeling like we really got the rules down for defenders of the wild, even if we did then promptly lose to toxic sites.

Pollution got us on our last play 🫠

With power back this week, it’s been easier to play board games in the evening and I think I found a new favorite. I love co-ops and Defenders of the Wild does a lot that I really like. From its asymmetrical player factions to the way its unique machine antagonist functions.

We defended the Wild!

finally got our copy of Defenders of the Wild, which i backed on kickstarter a while ago broke it out between yesterday and today, and it's been good fun. got the stuffing kicked out of us though.

Defenders of the Wild. A co-op area control game. First time playing and we barely won. Curious to try again since pretty much everyone was unfamiliar with it.

Part fable, part call to action, Defenders of the Wild is a poetic cooperative game that pits woodland creatures against senseless destruction of their habitats. My review: spacebiff.com/2024/07/10/d...

Mein erster Kickstarter 😍

Es sieht aufgebaut sehr schön aus und gleich geht's los.

Defenders of the Wild by T.L. Simons & Henry Audubon, and published by Outlandish Games (FKA Out of Order Games) Really clever central action selection built on GORGEOUS cards. #boardgames

Defenders of the wild

Defenders of the Wild was good fun! A Pandemic-like system, perhaps a bit more fiddly, but thematically strong and I really liked the asymmetric factions.

Defenders of the Wild. It kicked our ass! We could have been more efficient but I'm not sure what we could have done. I'm not against co-ops that are a little random, but wish we could have gotten closer. Still a cool production. Looking forward to playing again.

Game 15: Defenders of the Wild. A cooperative game of forest insurgents fighting against their mechanized industrial oppressors. A serious time commitment!

4th times a charm, we finally won a game of Defenders of the wild with a full four player game. So genuinely exciting once we started to see a road to victory.

Defenders of the Wild is a neat little design. Picked it up on a whim, but surprised me with its depth! @tlsimons.bsky.social @henryaudubon.bsky.social put together a compelling story of disaster mitigation.

1. Runde Defenders of the Wild: Thema Militanter Ökoaktivismus ist gut getroffen, macht Bock Mauern zu durchbrechen, Fabriken und Mechs zu zerhauen. Spielerisch ist es tatsächlich Spirit Island und Root light,heißt: Hartes Koop Wargame mit politischen Inhalt und süsser Optik, aber zugânglicher. Top!

Here's a picture of me and two comrades beta-testing Defenders of the Wild a few months ago. So excited that the game is now up. I really recommend backing it on Kickstarter here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/out...

Did a not-so-great job as Defenders of the Wild. This game is going to take some practice. The comparisons to Spirit Island make more sense than I thought they would. The player powers are simpler but the invaders are just as punishing. #boardgames

Yesterday I finally finished a couple games of furry cooperative Defenders of the Wild with @jakeyjaketheskunko.bsky.social as The Order, Cube as The Sect, Caust as The Coven, and me as The Council. The first game was a loss to machine construction, and we won the second attempt.

super excited about Defenders of the Wild-- a new board game about animals defending nature against industrialization and what not. I mean, look at this art and look at the characters!

Demoing games was great. Saturday there was always a spot open nearby and even better-- on Sunday most games were super accessible. For example, here's Defenders of the Wild. Demoed on Moon Rabbit Tables chic prototype! @outlandishgames.bsky.social moonrabbittables.com
