Bill Oddie's Great Bird Race Game

The authentic birdwatching game

Box cover

Publisher's Description:

The aim of the game is, basically, to see birds - BUT IT'S NOT JUST AS EASY AS THAT! - there's more, much more! You race against the clock, you compete against your opponents, you learn about birds and their habitats. On the board are all the habitats where birds occur in the British Isles in Spring, and you must visit as many of these as you can in the time given. You will experience all the excitement and heartache of a days birdwatching - and IT IS exciting and heartbreaking... you'll see!

Trev says:

This game has obviously been put together with the idea of interesting some of the vast market of boardgamers in birdwatching... ! I'm not sure if I've ever played it, so I can't speak for the gameplay. I can say though that it contains over 500 cards with some very attractive drawings of birds by Philip Snow. I think that, if you're into birdwatching, these drawings would add somewhat to the pleasure of playing - even if the game does turn out to be a bit weak.

I have since sold this game
