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.

Defenders of the Wild 🦌 Preorder: black-mosquito.org/de/defenders... A card-driven cooperative board game of animals against machines. Play as one of four unique animal factions to clear pollution, fight mechs, breach walls, build camps, and rewild factories across a modular map [...]

Defenders of the wild

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 🫠
