So, "Wingspan" is basically the bird-lover's dream turned into a board game, and let me tell you, it's a hoot! First off, the cards are like tiny works of art. Beautiful birds with fun facts? It's like a birdwatching session without leaving your living room.
Now, the game itself is where the real fun takes flight. You're building this crew of birds, and each one's got its own vibe and superpower. It's like putting together your own dream team of feathery friends. And don't get me started on the bird feeder dice tower – rolling those dice is oddly satisfying.
The whole point is to lure in the coolest birds to your habitats and rack up points. It's competitive, but in a friendly, "let's see who can attract the fanciest birds" way. Plus, you've got these eggs as resources, which is a cute touch.
Setting it up can be a bit like organizing a bird-themed party at first, but once you get going, it's smooth sailing. It's the kind of game that keeps everyone hooked from start to finish, and the best part is, you learn a ton about birds without feeling like you're in a science class.
In a nutshell, "Wingspan" is like taking a bird-filled adventure without leaving your game night. Whether you're a bird nerd or just looking for a game that's as chill as it is strategic, this one's a winner.

A great variety of birds and goals, making it a different game each time you play.
Wingspan is a beautifully designed game. The 170 unique bird cards have great illustrations as well as facts about each bird. The general idea of the game is to earn points by placing birds in the appropriate habitat, laying eggs in the bird nests, competing with mini challenges while playing 4 rounds. Plus you need to gain specific food to play each bird, draw new bird cards and there are activations which give you special advantages. There is a bird feeder dice tower with a ramp to roll the food dice into. You also have individual playing boards, food tokens and wooden eggs. A combination of planning and luck are needed to win this game. If one strategy isn't working, you'll want to change your focus.Wingspan has quickly become a favorite game of ours. We usually play with 2 or 3 players, but it can be played with 1 to 5. Great for teens and adults, plus I think younger kids who are good at strategic games could pick this up. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the instructions are detailed to help with that. I like watching someone set up and explain new games on youtube, then you can just refer to the directions when you have a question. After you play a couple of rounds, the game moves along faster. It usually takes us about 60-75 minutes to set up and play a game. We play a bit leisurely, so it might go faster for you. We've been playing this most weekends since we got it. I love playing engine building games like Scythe and Terraformimg Mars. This one is easier to learn and play, and you're mostly focused on building your own aviary and accumulating points. You aren't attacking opponents and you have no idea how many bonus points they might have. So, until you add up all of the points at the end, no one really knows who's winning.A great value for a game you'll play over and over. The pieces are sturdy and should last. I highly recommend adding Wingspan to your collection.

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.
