So let’s dig into the game and find out what kind of game it is. It’s just having the English version is much more preferable than other versions, despite me not a native English speaker. Not that I doubt the originality as the store absolutely never sells counterfeits. Of course I immediately bought it despite having instant doubt that the version of the game has a Chinese title on the box. So for a while I played it digitally and recently the game is available to purchase. I asked my local game store for a copy and a chance for them to carry the game and they said it’s possible. I was excited, the kind of excitement you get when you realize that you want to immediately play it again. And after my first play, I was surprised. So I read the short rules and then tried the game with random people there. It was on that I first encountered CuBirds and then because it’s a small and simple game, I decided to give it a shot. And then my interest was shifted to digital platforms for board games, such as, and The game in progress on Board Game Arena I even started to play solitaire games which I rarely do because I believe board gaming is more fun with friends in real time. Not to mention that I also have a 2 year old boy that often demands full time attention. So due to the pandemic, I didn’t have many opportunities to play board games with friends. I knew it was there, but it’s just there and I don’t give a damn about it. So CuBirds with just cards for components, lacking more comprehensive visualization, went around unnoticed in my radar. ![]() As I am a gamer that finds simple light games to be unrewarding and unsatisfactory, though I know it isn’t always the case (guilty on all accounts for Parade there). When I just found out about the game there was no such interest for the game. The fact that it was around since 2018 and I kinda knew the game just from a year ago shows that I need to go out more. ![]() It was published by Catch Up Games in 2018. CuBirds, as strange as it sounds, is a card game about (cube shaped) birds for 2 to 5 players from game designer Stefan Alexander.
