Wingspan

Description

--- Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven engine-building board game where bird enthusiasts build habitats over 4 rounds to score the most points. Key mechanics include: - *Engine-building* Each bird card extends powerful combinations in habitats, focusing on growth actions. - *Food acquisition* Gain food tokens via custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower. - *Egg laying* Place egg miniatures in various colors on birds. - *Bird card management* Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them to your preserves. - *Round-based victory* Score points after 4 rounds, with the highest total winning. Wingspan, from Stonemaier Games and designed by Elizabeth Hargrave with illustrations by Natalia Rojas and Ana Maria Martinez, casts players as bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—competing to discover and attract the best birds to their wildlife preserve networks. Players develop engine-building chains through bird cards placed in habitats, emphasizing key growth actions: acquiring food tokens with dice from a birdfeeder tower, laying colorful egg miniatures, and drawing/playing from hundreds of unique bird cards. The game spans 4 rounds, with victory awarded to the player with the most points. From the 7th printing onward, the base game includes the Wingspan: Swift-Start Promo Pack. ---
