Wingspan

Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of ornithology with Wingspan, a strategic, medium-weight board game that invites you to become a true bird enthusiast. Whether you're a researcher, bird watcher, ornithologist, or collector, your goal is to attract the most incredible birds to your wildlife preserves. Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and beautifully illustrated by Natalia Rojas and Ana Maria Martinez, this Stonemaier Games title stands out with its 180 unique bird cards, each boasting its own abilities and characteristics.

In Wingspan, you'll build a true engine, where each bird you play in one of your three habitats (forest, grassland, or wetland) triggers a chain of powerful effects. These habitats are the heart of your ecosystem, allowing you to collect food tokens using custom dice in a super cool dice tower, lay colorful eggs (with adorable miniatures!), and, of course, play more bird cards to expand your collection. With each round, your actions become more efficient, and the birds you attract work together to generate points and resources.

The game unfolds over four intense rounds, where every decision matters. In the end, the player with the most points, accumulated through birds, eggs, stored food, and end-game bonuses, is the big winner. And a cool detail: recent editions of the base game already include the 'Wingspan: Swift-Start Promo Pack,' so you can start playing with even more options! It's an engaging, competitive experience with an educational touch that makes you want to learn more about each bird.
