"A peaceful area majority game" is the most succinct way I can think to describe this very original offering by Elizabeth Hargrave. I did not like Wingspan that much, but I do enjoy this one. The solo mode reproduces a 3-player game (the best player count for this game) rather effectively.
I've played a decent amount of the video game, and this captures everything I love about it and expands it into a co-op game. Easy to learn even for my friends who were unfamiliar with the IP, and has tons of replay value. I highly recommend it.
