Review: Gorgeous and relaxing board game featuring birds - Got this gift for my board game loving family and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. There were some learning curve when first starting out but once we understood the rules, it was a pleasant surprise. The quality of the board game was great! Loved the bird feeder. It was nice to see artistic and educational information about different birds that we've never heard or seen before. Pretty simple to assemble, and fun to play! Will definitely be playing this every weekend for a bit.
Review: Bird bird bird, bird is the word! - Firstly, let's start with the physical aspects of the item. It's a well built board game, the pieces are all tactile and of great quality. The eggs especially are beautiful and fun to hold. Wingspan really is a gorgeous looking game, the art on the cards is truly stunning, and it's super educational with so many fun facts on many different species of birds. And the font size is reasonable enough for anyone with moderate vision to not have to squint deeply at the cards. Now, the more important question is, is it fun? By golly, yes it is! It is a good low-weight game (2-3 hour playthrough with decent pacing, single action turns) that incorporates some very interesting card play and clever engine building, coupled with a fascinating depleting action selection mechanic and multiple ways to score. If you love birds, you will like this game. If you enjoy hand management and simple tableau building, this game is perfect for you. And if you buy into any of the hype, this game has won multiple awards for good reason! Get ready to sit down for a few hours and throw yourself into the aviary world of Wingspan!

## Features

- Wingspan Game Required: In order to play, the Wingspan (Base Game) or Wingspan Asia (1-2 player) is required. Combines well with all expansions. You can shuffle the cards into your standard Wingspan set or play games only with these birds.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: In an effort to help the environment, Wingspan European Expansion has no shrink wrap, and uses stickers on the back. This is with the idea that this box will be recycled, and the components added into your Wingspan game or Nesting Box.
- New Birds and Components: Features 81 new regal, beautiful, and varied birds of Europe. In addition to new bird cards, this expansion includes a new egg color, new custom tray with lid, new goals, additional food tokens.
- Bird Collecting: You are bird enthusiasts - researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors - seeking to discover and attract a beautiful and diverse network of birds to your wildlife preserve.
- Wonderful Game Design and Gorgeous Bird Illustrations: Fantastic design by Elizabeth Hargrave - Every element of the bird used on each card is tied to the theme and mechanisms of the cards: the type of nest and number of eggs that nest holds, the size of the birds and many of their abilities, the type of food that is needed to attract said bird, and where that bird will come to rest on your playmat. Beautifully illustrated by Natalia Rojas, Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo, and Beth Sobel with a lovely realistic and naturalistic art style.
- Thematically Designed Mechanisms: Most bird cards have an ability that benefits you during the game. Many of these abilities tie into the nature of the bird represented on the card. For example, the parasitic nature of some birds is used in the game by the card not allowing eggs to be placed on it but giving you the ability to place eggs in other birds’ nests, just like these birds use the nests of other birds in real life. Some bird powers allow you to tuck cards underneath them, like a raptor eating another smaller bird.
- Solo Play: Features an Automa to play against in a 1-player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes.
- Great Gift: This is an excellent gift for anyone who already owns Wingspan and wants to add some variety to their game.
- Created by Women: Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave (Undergrove). Natalia Rojas (Waddle Waddle), Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo (Finspan), and Beth Sobel (Calico).
- Published by Stonemaier: Stonemaier is a tabletop game publisher based in St. Louis and distributed worldwide.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this stamd alome or do you have to habe the oringinal game?**
A: These are European bird cards and additional (purple!) eggs that are designed to be incorporated into the original game. So it's not a standalone; you need to own Wingspan in order to use this expansion.

**Q: Does the expansion allow for more players?**
A: No, it does not. Stonemaier does sell neoprint player mats. You’d have to get action cubes though. And we have played with 5; more than 5 would make it super slow. It would probably be better to have a second copy and play two groups.

**Q: Does it fit into the original wingspan box?**
A: Yes, it does.  I ditched some of the small plastic storage containers that we only use to present food (food is stored in included baggies), ditched the new purple card storage container (all bird cards now stored in original blue storage  container), stored bonus cards (unsleaved) in baggie, kept rule book/etc.  It fits snug, but the lid does close fully.

**Q: Why is the quality of cards poor in this expansion? It made me think that it is imitation/fake product.**
A: I'm not sure what you mean. We have that expansion, and the card quality is exactly the same as the original game and Oceania expansion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best bird games I've played
*by A***Y on January 7, 2021*

Background: I've played a ton of board/card games in my life, enough to call myself a board game enthusiast. First of all let me say that this game is beautiful. Everything from the gorgeous bird artwork on the cards to the box itself is stunning. If you're like me, you'll probably be gawking at at least some of the artwork when you play for the first time (and long after that too). Wingspan oozes theme. The board is made up of three different habitats that birds commonly live in, and you're placing birds in the specific habitat that they belong in. The actual bird cards themselves, while being beautiful, also have an interesting fact about the bird, along with their wingspan in cm. I'm definitely not a bird person, but this game really pulled me with the bird theme, and I love it. Every time I drew a new card I would say things like "Oooo would you just look at that bird!?" or "Damn, that's a nice bird right there", and would look forward to reading it's little factoid. Drawing a new bird was just as exciting as making a strategic move to gain an advantage. I won't go into the gameplay much (you can look up a how-to-play on YouTube for that), but I will say that literally every facet of it works, and exceptionally well at that. You only have a few things you can do each turn, so typically turns don't take too long, as long as you're planning ahead when others are playing. This is GOOD, as you won't be sitting for 10 minutes waiting for your next turn (at least once everyone has played once). You'll be drawing birds, playing birds on your habitats, collecting resources, and laying eggs. Your birds have effects that can be triggered in future turns, doing cool things like getting free eggs or swallowing another bird for a victory point as long as it's wingspan is small enough to fit down your gullet. You can get a bit of an "engine" going later in the game, where you can trigger a ton of effects back to back, doing a bunch of awesome bird stuff at once. There is some player interaction with some of these effects, so it pays to pay attention when it's other players' turns! This is a "point salad" kind of game, meaning you have a ton of different ways to score victory points at the end of the game. It's great because you're always looking ahead at what you think will be the most efficient way to earn points at the end, and your options are going to be different each game depending on your starting birds or playstyle. There's also different universal goals and secret individual goals that you're working on that are different every game, which greatly adds to replicability. If you're secret goal one game is to play a bunch of birds with wingspans under 40cm, you'll probably be biased towards playing a bunch of tiny birds in your habitat, which effects differ greatly from most larger birds. I would say this game has a moderate learning curve. About halfway through your first game you'll start to get the feel for what you should be doing, and by the end you feel pretty good about it. It's really not too difficult to learn, but it definitely takes plenty of time and strategy to master. Quality of game pieces is exceptional. Even the game manual is made of a thick textured (vinyl?) material that feels amazing to flip through. Overall this bird game is well worth the money. If you enjoy board games and birds, you need to own this. If you enjoy board games and don't care about birds, you should still probably own this, it's just that good. PS If you do end up enjoying this game, I would highly recommend "Parks" from Keymaster Games (a Barnes and Noble exclusive in the US). It's gameplay is different, but it has equally beautiful artwork/design and the strategies you'll employ are very similar to Wingspan.
