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.
BUILD YOUR ENGINE: Gain food tokens via custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower, lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors, draw from over 170 unique bird cards and play them. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats. Earn points, play new birds, help others, and many other abilities!
AWARD WINNER: 2019 winner of the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres award, along with many others!
COMPETITIVE: Medium-weight, card-driven board game from designer Elizabeth Hargrave. Includes swift-start pack for first time player guidance.
GORGEOUS ART: Beautifully illustrated by Natalia Rojas, Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo, and Beth Sobel with a lovely realistic and naturalistic art style.
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED BIRD CARDS: 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.
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 the cowbirds is used in the game by not allowing eggs to be placed on it but rather giving you the ability to place eggs in other birds’ nests, just like these birds use the nests of other birds in real life. The northern mockingbird imitates another bird in your habitat. 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 single 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.
EXCELLENT GIFT: Great gift for families, teenagers, students, couples, and anyone who loves birds and nature.
CREATED BY WOMEN: Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave. Illustrated by Natalia Rojas, Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo, and Beth Sobel.

Title: I *LOVE* this game
Review: My daughter played this at a work game night and loved it so much that she bought it for my house. I’m so glad she did. This is quite possibly the most enjoyable game I've ever played. We bought the European expansion shortly after getting it because we enjoyed it so much, and my daughter bought me extra eggs in different colors for Christmas. I was super happy!It seems complicated the first time playing, but once you get the idea, it's super easy and straightforward.I would not usually buy a game this expensive, but I had to give it five start for value. We have played over and over and over during the few months we've had this game. We played 4 times last weekend alone. lol Definitely worth the price for us. It's also VERY well made. The cards are nice and thick. The bird eggs are wood and solid pieces. The boards and cardboard parts are very thick and solid. The pictures are beautifully done. We spend time looking at the pictures of the birds as well as playing, and one of my daughters decided to start memorizing the bird facts on the cards.It’s not just my family who likes it. We have played with different sets of my kids’ friends when they were over, and they have all come back wanting to play again. It’s really an inexplicably fun game!

Title: I can't believe I didn't write a review for this game!
Review: I was able to get a copy of this game around Black Friday in 2019 for a good price. Shortly after, from what I remember, it was either sold out or the price was heavily inflated. I tend to wait for games to be more than 40% before purchasing, but I just had this feeling that this game would be worth it. And I was right.REWIND: Ever since I was young I loved playing board games even though I was an only child and I spent hours playing Sorry!, Jumanji, chess, Chinese checkers, Monopoly, etc. all by myself (I would call it research now). And the year culminated at Christmastime when my cousins would all come together and we would play board games together.FAST FORWARD: I played more computer games as I got older and then games on iOS. I found Ticket to Ride or Scotland Yard on iOS and I thought those games were great! Little did I know there were PHYSICAL board games of these games, until my neighborhood friend said he played Ticket to Ride too and brought over the real copy and my mind was blown away.I started sneaking into the toy section at Target and found Pandemic. I acquired some expansions on Amazon and that's where I was for 7 years. I played other games in the mean time but I didn't care to own them, because my friends owned them. I moved out of the country and was busy with school. I graduated and came back and low and behold it was Black Friday!I had to do research for prices for Black Friday and I stumbled on Ars Technica that mentioned Wingspan. I didn't care for birds...but the box was pretty...and what? All the cards had different art on them? That's what sold me.FAST FORWARD again! And here we are 6 months later down a rabbit hole with 80+ games, several game groups (mostly online now due to social distancing), and family who are stuck at home and have no other choice but to play games with me 🙂 I also enjoy birding now and recognize the local birds. A silver lining with Covid is that it is during the Spring so I am able to see multiple different bird species flying around in my suburban backyard which fuels my newfound birding hobby.Pros:1. Wingspan is pretty to look at. Nothing ugly. Even the boring American crow starts to look pretty because it feeds the other birds in your bird "engine" - which is a combination of cards with birds on them that add on powers and help you on your way to victory.2. Even if I lose, I don't mind it because I enjoyed playing.3. It's fun to read the little info tidbit and learn something new on every single card.4. Information is from reputable sources.5. The game is pretty.6. It is relaxing...and at the same time NOT because there are so many possible combinations that could happen your brain cog wheels are always spinning. Or at least mine are.7. It has a solo mode.8. There is a Swift-Start pack - which are separate instruction mats for players with instructions to help everyone as a group learn how to play the game. This is a helpful tool for people who have no idea what they're doing or you want to teach this game to other people.Cons:1. This could potentially lead you to hobbies like board gaming or birding2. If you're a completionist/OCD and you buy this game, know that you're in for at least 5 more expansions3. If you love artsy craftsy stuff and find the fan-made things on Etsy...you might spend more money than what you thought you were going to spend4. The bird feeder dice tower is a cool gimmick. I say gimmick, because I let my dumb 12-year-old cousin put it together and it was frayed before I even played the game for the first time. However, my husband bought me a proper bird house dicetower from Etsy...and after you have one of those, why would you ever go back to that cardboard thing?5. The game tray. It's flimsy plastic...it looks nice...but when you start to plan on sleeving your cards (which I did after I had to hold back from saying anything while tearfully watching Frito fingers manhandle my cards) you end up spending a lot of time trying to figure out which sleeves to buy and if all the cards will fit in the tray...or do you buy a new tray...and the cycle continues. Apparently these cards are American standard card size, because there is a European standard card size. I got the cheapest Mayday sleeves which are also the thinnest, so all the cards still fit in the trays. BUT they feel so thin...and plasticky...They aren't like the NICE sleeves my husband got for Terraforming Mars. ROLL EYES. The cards from Terraforming Mars are wearing out though on the edges and the Wingspan cards are way nicer in quality.SO good luck to you if you choose this dark path toward pretty birds and board game nights.Seriously though, if you think you might like a pretty card game about pretty birds that isn't cartoony and has real information you can learn from, try out Wingspan!

Review: This is absolutely our family's favourite game! I don't even know where to start.The game itself is absolutely gorgeous. The illustrations are stunning and the fact that it comes with a bird feeder and detailed board is great. We also love all the bird facts! It's clear so much time and effort went into designing this game.The game has a one player and multiplayer option which makes it super versatile. The game can take a bit to learn, it has a lot of little details but it's laid out in such a way that it's really easy to follow. I've never played a game like it!Highly recommend!

Review: Tengo poca experiencia jugando juegos de mesa, este juego me ha encantado, es muy bonito visualmente, todas las piezas tienen muchos detalles, el material se ve resistente y bien hecho.Juego de estrategia, ganas puntos juntando aves, comida, huevos. Tiene un mono autómata, para jugar 1 sola persona, pero está diseñado hasta para 5 jugadores.Los manuales están muy completos, toma un poco entender como jugar tu estrategia para sumar puntos, pero viene con unas cartas aparte para que aprendas a jugar, lo cual es de gran ayuda. De los mejores manuales que he visto, con detalle cada cosa.El costo es elevado, vale la pena esperar a que esté en promoción. Con prime me llegó al día siguiente.Me encanta que aparte de todo aprendes sobre las aves porque tienen un poco de información cada carta.Las partidas pueden extenderse hasta más de una hora, el turno de cada jugador es medianamente ágil.
