Perch Playthrough: Adorable Birds, Brutal Tactics (Inside Up Games) with @BoardgamesBourbon

Description provided by The Game Bard on YouTube:

Welcome to Perch — a fast, tactical area-control game where you’re stacking adorable little birds, fighting for points at the top of the stack, and using woodland critters to pull off sneaky moves. In this playthrough with Glenn Flaherty, we walk through the four phases each round (migrate, recruit, perch, upkeep), show how control works, and demonstrate how the animals (fox, owl, squirrel) can absolutely wreck your plans in the best way.
