Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game from Stonemaier Games.
You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats (actions). These habitats focus on several key aspects of growth:
Gain food tokens via custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower
Lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors
Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them
The winner is the player with the most points after 4 rounds.
If you enjoy Terraforming Mars and Gizmos, we think this game will take flight at your table.

Everything it's hyped to be - not a revolution in gaming but a pleasant engine-builder with top-notch production values.

By all accounts, this game is beautiful - the components, the illustrations, the charming dice tower and the insert material - nothing was left untouched, nothing left unrefined. The game play too is (I'm happy to say) excellent - smooth in operation, but as with all games of this ilk that result in a build up of 'engine' components in a tableau, challenging to keep in mind for optimal play. Which is the point: it suggests massive replayability since the 4 actions are trivial, it's only the tactics and workings of combinations that separate good play from great. I will say the 'Most Of' side of the round scoring is quite vicious - much more so than the pleasant side. However, replayability might be in question - the cards effects are not that elaborate and you will see similar cards from game to game. I also feel the 'food' (forest) row is the weakest of the three actions and a challenge to achieve victory. Still, quite nice - lovely and fun. I like it very much.

I am glad this game exists to lure in non-gamers to our hobby. Very pretty and overproduced, the included dice tower is laughably unnecessary. The mechanics are simple to understand and it is satisfying to run the engine you have custom-built, but ultimately too shallow for my tastes. The mostly North American bird lineup is a shame, and some internationally recognised birds would have been more relatable.
