Watch “Hover | A COZY Yet BRUTAL Game Where HUMMINGBIRDS Fight To BUILD A NEST & FIND A MATE!,” a board game review for Hover on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by TableTopVibes on YouTube:

Imagine you’re a hummingbird, thirsty for nectar and looking for a mate. The first one to build a nest and make a winning courtship call wins! Each hummingbird species has its own special skills that can change how you play. But be careful! All the chatter, competition, and annoying displays from other hummingbirds can easily distract your potential mate from paying attention as you use up all your energy to win their (super fast-beating) heart! *Chapter Overview* 0:00:00 - Intro 0:00:15 - Game Overview 0:01:28 - The Field, Field Cards, and The Forest 0:02:28 - Gathering Materials & Fighting Your Opponents 0:03:52 - Gaining Energy 0:05:12 - Asymmetrical Abilities 0:06:14 - Nest Actions, Lichen & Beauty 0:07:01 - Courting Call 0:08:21 - Adam's Epic Move 0:09:14 - Recap & Final Thoughts *Learn More & Back This Game On Kickstarter* https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/victorshiu/hover-a-surprisingly-brutal-hummingbird-game *Buy/Sell your other board games at Noble Knight Games* https://www.nobleknight.com/ *Support us on our other Platforms* ►Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSUiRLcLVkO__I8Y6FLeUBg?sub_confirmation=1 ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Table_top_vibes/ ►Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/p/TableTopvibes-all-About-Board-Games-100063653726718/ ►Twitter (X): https://twitter.com/Table_top_vibes ►Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@table_top_vibes ►Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TabletopVibes #nectar #flowers #garden #forest #feeder #field #competitive #build #nesting #birds #courtingcall #lichan #silk #twigs #ibisteagames #partygames #tabletopgames #gaming #familygamenight #firstimpression #newgame #firstlook #tabletopvibes

About Hover, from BoardGameGeek:

A brutal game of hummingbirds. Play as hummingbirds thirsty for nectar… and a mate. The first bird to build a nest and perform a successful courting call wins the game. Each species has different abilities that can alter your strategy: Will you bully your way to the top? Bluff your way ahead? Or get clever and sneak in a victory? But watch out! The chatter, competition, and annoying displays from other hummingbirds can easily distract your potential mate from paying attention as you expend precious energy to win their 1,260 bpm heart. Based on real hummingbird behaviors, Hover is a strategic game featuring high-player interaction, tight action economy, asymmetric abilities, bidding/bluffing, and area control to create a highly immersive and intuitive game. Be the hummingbird - beautiful and brutal.
