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.

very pretty, well made, gameplay is a little luck based and nothing new or unusual, but fun to play all the same

I am a sucker for nature themed games, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that I thoroughly enjoy this game. The backbone of this game is that you are playing birds into three habitats that are also associated with the remaining three turn actions you can take. In this way, your goal is to build an ecologically productive community of birds. I think this gives the game a lot more theme than a number of other board games that employ a victory point system, many of which I enjoy. The birds themselves are charismatic. They are beautifully illustrated and their properties are based on those of their real life counterparts. I know a lot of the powers of the birds are repeated, but I like that many of them are conserved within a taxonomic group (ie ravens and crows trade eggs for food). The scarcity of certain food resources at any given time also fits into the theme nicely and the bird feeder dice tower it a great centerpiece to a game with fantastic board presence. I also love the solo implementation of this game. With this game also being fairly easy to teach, I expect to bring it to the table for years to come. The attention to detail in this game is first rate.

Like: - the theme - visual presentation - clever bird powers - best with 1-3 Dislike: - you can't always plan your strategy because you cannot rely on what cards you might get your hands on - poor interaction, it matters little what opponents do - bonus cards have little to no use and are often ignored - takes a bit long with 4-5, certainly longer than advertised
