Birds of a Feather is an expansion … pardon me … eggspansion for the cooperative boss-battler game Flock Together.  This eggspansion (be prepared for a lot more chicken puns) was on Kickstarter back in Novemeber 2024 and promised delivery in August 2025.  You know what?  They even delivered a little early!  I want to say  I got my copy in June 2025, so nice job!

Flock Together was pretty popular in my groups; it made the #8 spot on our Top 10 Cooperative Games of 2024!  Usually, extra kickstarters are like this a way to keep the flow going … if you hadn’t ordered the original Flock Together game, you could get that AND this new eggspansion!

So, what’s inside?  Let’s take a look!

Unboxing

This is a smaller box than the original, and pretty thin too: see the Coke can above for perspective.

There’s not that much new here.  There’s 6 new Predators!

With lots of new puns!  Chew Bawka?  Sheriff of Rottingham?  Oi!

But this game is built on the bedrock of Chicken Puns!  There are 6 new Chickens you can play: J.R.R Yolkien, Broods Lee, Princess Layer, Chickira, Aracorn (Heir of Condor), Cluck Norris, … so … many … chicken … puns!

There’s only 3 new Weather cards …

And basically another player board so you can have up to 6 players.  This eggspansion also expands the game to 6 players!  (The original only played 1-5).

There’s a few new options for chicken color (see wooden … cheeples … above … yes, that’s right: cheeples are chicken meeples).

The game looks very consistent with the original, both of which have great art from Andrew Bosley!

How Is It?

I played a solo game with J.R.R. Yolkien (oi), and it’s pretty much the same game!

I used new Chickens and new Predators, and everything else (Bonus cards, board, counters, etc) comes from the original box!  See above!

The game plays the same; it’s still fun and silly.  (I did add the 3 new Weather cards in as well).  I just had a new Chicken and all new predators!

More Stuff

This expansion is pretty simple: more stuff.  6 new Predators, 6 new Chickens, more tokens so you can play 6-Players, and 3 new Weather cards.  That’s pretty much it!

The rulebook discusses how you can just mix this in with the original game and never see the expansion box ever again!

This eggspansion  just adds a little more. There’s no real game changers here.

Missed Opportunity

One of my complaints about the original game (see review of Flock Together here) was that the eggs and food were all different looking (see above and below) …

… for no reason.  I always thought that there should be some rules to take advantage of these differences!  Maybe different colored eggs have different bonuses/minuses for different seasons?  Maybe you can’t get certain food until you go to certain parts of the board?   I always thought it was weird that we have these very distinct food and eggs … and these differences means nothing in the game.

I was kind of hoping this expansion would expand the universe and give a reason these eggs and food were so different!!!  Make them mean something!!

Nope.

Conclusion

This is a fine expansion; it gives us more chicken puns and a little more life to the game.  But I think the publishers missed an opportunity to do something cool with the distinct eggs and food.

If you see the eggspansion Birds of a Feather in a store, and you like the original game Flock Together the base game, you can’t go wrong with this eggspansion; it doesn’t change the game AT ALL! It just adds a little life with new Predators, new Chickens, and a 6th player.

I am glad I got this; it’s an excuse to play Flock Together again!  But I think they could have done a little more, especially with the distinct eggs and food.
