Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, engine-building board game designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and published by Stonemaier Games. Winner of the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres award in 2019, the game features 180 beautifully illustrated bird cards by Natalia Rojas and Ana Maria Martinez. In Wingspan, players take on the roles of bird enthusiasts, including researchers, birdwatchers, ornithologists, and collectors, working to attract a diverse range of birds to their wildlife preserves. Each bird you play strengthens one of your three habitats—forest, grassland, or wetland—creating powerful combinations that help you gather resources, lay eggs, and discover new birds. Throughout the game, players… collect food using custom dice and a unique birdfeeder dice tower, lay colourful egg miniatures, and draw from a deck of hundreds of unique bird cards. Every bird offers special abilities that can trigger chain reactions, allowing players to develop increasingly effective strategies as their habitats grow. With its stunning artwork, engaging strategy, and relaxing nature-inspired theme, Wingspan offers a rewarding experience for both casual players and seasoned board game enthusiasts. After four rounds, the player who has accumulated the most points through their birds, eggs, bonus cards, and achievements wins the game.
