Our favorite animal is definitely our two Goldendoodles. Me and my wife's fav game with an animal right now is actually Creature Comforts. So it's funny you guys reviewed it in this vid. We have played it a couple times and it amazes me how close each game is when scores are added up. I hope they do release some expansion content for it. I never thought I would like that game but we definitely are enjoying it right now. Thanks again for all you guys do we love your content.

My favorite game with an animal theme right now is evolution. It’s relatively easy to learn and I enjoy that you can build an engine earlier in the game and get to use it for quite some time before it busts. I see a lot of Root and Everdelle comments and those are currently added to the top of the ‘get next’ list!

Wingspan is probably my favorite boardgame involving animals. I have already spent a good chunk of change on upgrades. We bought little minis off of meeplesource (my wife always plays as puffins, and I, the peregrine falcon). This game has sooo much goodness, strategic choices, high replayability, educational, beautiful art. Cascadia is a wonderful game. Quick to set up and play, but definitely offers some crunchiness underneath simple mechanics. Thanks for the quick snapshots of the other games.

I'd definitely recommend it! It was a Kickstarter campaign that arrived back in February or March of this year. We really enjoy it either to start off the night or as a 'refresher' between games. The mechanics and theme are cool and it can double as a more relaxed game or as more of a brain-burner depending on how you approach it. It's the creator's first game so we didn't know what to expect but found ourselves pleasantly surprised. And the artwork is amazing!

Hi, really enjoyed this video. Saw some games I definitely want to check out. I haven't played Cascadia or Wingspan yet, but they are on my list - once I have the funds to get them or find a place to try them out. I don't have many games that have animals or are animal based, but it came between Dinosaur World and Mice and Mystics. I had to go with Mice and Mystics as much as I enjoy Dinosaur World - I love the Jurassic Park movies! Mice and Mystics is adorable, I love dungeon crawl type games, it has a fun story, and it is easier to get to our table than Gloomhaven; still slogging through that. I always have a good time playing Mice and Mystics, and with abilities with awesome names like Battle Squeak how can you go wrong.

My favorite game with animals has to be Cascadia. I find it so relaxing and can play with others or solo. Easy to teach and table as well.

I think creature comforts is my favorite animal game... At the moment. because I played it most recently. But I also own wingspan, root and everdell so it's really hard to decide 🤣 For creature comforts the Kickstarter edition came with 2 small expansions. One is secret objectives for each player and the other is special roles for each players. E.g.: Carver : when you craft any comfort that includes wood in the cost, you gain a book from the supply. These expansions help make the game asymmetric 😁

My first pick for a game featuring animals would definitely be Root, but in my collection I’ve also got Cascadia, Parks and Campy Creatures (which fits the bill for mythical/fantastical creatures). But yeah, love me some Root. Got the latest expansion, but haven’t had a group to play it with yet!
