Watch “What's In the box? Ep57 Wondrous Creatures Kickstarter Captain Pledge Unboxing,” a board game unboxing for Wondrous Creatures on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Franksie's Mediocre Tabletop Gaming on YouTube:
Another of my Kickstarter backlog I'm getting through, a delightful looking game with a Pokemon-esc feel to it, looks wise anyway, not gameplay from what I can see.
As it's the Captain pledge there's deluxe extras and the Beast expansion too, there was the option for adding on the extra Crew pack, I'm not sure how much gameplay was in it but didn't opt to go for it, I think it's just cosmetics but you never know.

About Wondrous Creatures, from BoardGameGeek:
Welcome to the world full of fantastic creatures! You are an admirer, a creature enthusiast who will join the journey of forming the world's leading creature reserve.
To win Wondrous Creatures, you must create the most harmonious reserve. To do this, you will need to collect various Creature Cards and Eggs in your reserve. As each Creature Card holds its own unique ability, it's important to bring cards into your reserve that fit and synergize with your strategy. Additionally, it is very important to create a reserve that helps complete the Achievements faster than other players.
The worker placement mechanism provides an intriguing Hex Puzzle experience. Your deployed worker interacts with surrounding icons to bring in resources or cards, and activate special effects!
Your workers hold their own unique abilities. As you progress through the game, unlock their abilities and strengthen your workers!
As the game progresses, powerful special effects are newly placed on the map. Get creative and use these special effects to unleash your very own powerful combos!
Collect and combine 100+ different creature cards. Every creature holds its own distinctive ability and provides a deep strategic tableau building experience.
