This week, the Daddies enter the coop for our review of Flock Together — the cooperative boss battler where brave little chickens team up, level up, and fight off predators before the final season ends.

Andrew, Jason, and Jacob talk through what makes co-op games so fun, what makes them occasionally feel like a group project with dice, and whether Flock Together delivers enough strategy, charm, tension, and table presence to earn a proud Daddy score. Along the way, we celebrate the game’s gorgeous artwork by Andrew Bosley, pitch some deeply unserious celebrity chicken names for future expansions, and take a quick look at board game award season with a few titles that keep popping up on nomination lists.

In this episode:

• Why co-op games can feel like chosen family — or a hostage negotiation with snacks
• A review of Flock Together and its chicken-fueled boss battles
• Andrew Bosley’s artwork, including Everdell, Tapestry, Flock Together, and The Smoking Bones
• The Daddies pitch expansion characters including Fowla Abdul, Meryl Cheep, Coop Dogg, Lady Gaggle, and Oprah Wingfrey
• Our official SERVE score: Strategy, Elegance, Representation, Voltage, Ease, and Stance
• A quick check-in on current board game award nominations
• A tease for our next episode: Girl Dinner, a threeway with three different games

Grab your chicken fingers, fluff your feathers, and get ready to flock around and find out.
