Waypoints Playthrough & Play Along | Map 1 | Bits & Biology

Welcome to Bits & Biology, a channel about board games from the perspective of a biologist gamer. In this video I show you how to play the roll & write game Waypoints, and then play a solo game using Map 1, Whistling Waters National Park. I encourage you to play along with us!

Waypoints won the 2023 Golden Geek Award for Best Print & Play game (well deserved in my opinion!).

If you want to play along but don’t yet have the game, it can be purchased and downloaded from the Postmark Games website ( https://www.postmarkgames.com/ ) for about $5 U.S., which includes the three maps that have already been released, plus any future content (I believe they have five maps planned). It’s a great deal for a great game! They even have low-ink versions of the maps if you prefer not to print in color.

Timestamps can be found below in case you want to skip around.

Let me know you liked the video by giving it a thumbs up!
