The art is beautiful, and the theme of frightened ducks really shines through!
I do worry a little that they never need to move - all their warriors appear at spaces with a nest, and then are removed from the same spaces to score. I wish they would need to somehow flee across the board, as as it stands, they seem to just want to wait until they get as many warriors as possible in their nest spaces, so they can cash in large numbers for points and still have enough to defend their nest after scoring,
The artwork is fantastic, great job! :)
And it's really easy to follow along with these guys' gameplan, you've def made em easy to pick up! I also like the unique mechanics of drawing cards during daylight.
I'm wondering if they'll pull a moles and end up being a little turtle-y, but I think I'd really need to playtest them in order to tell
Awesome work!
Awesome theme and really cool art, very well done! I like how you use simple mechanics in order to achieve some interesting decision space, such as scoring by leaving your buildings less (much less) defended, or using up actions to draw cards. Overall very elegant and cool faction, I like it
I really like this faction and think you captured the swarm theme! It's an interesting twist to have to use your actions if you want to draw cards. I think the art is fantastic too!
