I would love to review this. Already, I have to say, I'm very impressed with the sources used, and would not have expected most of them on a board game article. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 03:49, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The game was made by an American, but the article uses UK spelling. I don't see a need to change it, but I thought that might be worth pointing out.
According to the lead, one to five people can play, but this is never mentioned in the body.
The game also won numerous awards, including the 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres for best connoisseur game of the year. I'm not sure it's appropriate to phrase it like this, as "best connoisseur game of the year" is a literal translation of the award name.
Stuart West also praised the game's accessibility.[29] Similarly, Aaron Zimmerman from Ars Technica also praised the overall accessibility. This is rather redundant-sounding.
A "swift-start promo pack" was also released in 2019, which added 10 new bird cards, intended for first time players. I can't listen to interview part of the cited source right now, but is this line supported there? I saw no mention of this in the text portion.

That's all I noticed. I did several spot checks that were all fine. Earwig found no copyvios. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 04:32, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@An anonymous username, not my real name: I've addressed the following concerns:

Thanks for your note.
I removed the "one to five people" phrase the lead.
The for best connoisseur game of the year part has been removed.
Now it reads Stuart West and Aaron Zimmerman from Ars Technica also praised the game's accessibility.
Changed the citation to the official website. It is non-independent but is probably fine per WP:ABOUTSELF, though if it's needed I can remove the mention of the swift-start promo pack completely.

I also expanded the lede. Thanks again for the review, any more issues? Many thanks! VickKiang (talk) 05:44, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
