Pros:
- Fun strategic engine building game with interesting goals/synergies
- Lots of replay value with different round goals and hidden goals
- Great aesthetic
- Fun bird facts
Cons:
- Not a lot of interaction between players
- A bit more difficult for a board game beginner to pick up
- Sometimes it's a bit difficult to get all the pieces to fit back into the box correctly.
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.
The attention to detail in Wingspan is truly remarkable. The beautifully illustrated cards depict a wide variety of bird species, each with unique abilities and attributes. It's a delight to discover and learn about these feathered creatures as you build your avian empire.
The gameplay mechanics are smooth and engaging. From strategically selecting bird cards to managing resources and habitats, every decision feels meaningful and impactful. The engine-building aspect adds depth and complexity, allowing players to create synergistic chains of actions that propel their gameplay forward.
The replayability of Wingspan is outstanding. With hundreds of bird cards and multiple strategies to explore, no two games are the same. The game scales well for different player counts, accommodating both solo play and larger group sessions, making it versatile and accommodating for various gaming preferences.
The components of Wingspan are of the highest quality. The sturdy birdhouse dice tower and well-crafted eggs, food tokens, and player boards enhance the tactile experience and add to the overall immersion. The rulebook is clear and concise, making it easy to learn and teach the game to newcomers.
Beyond the gameplay, Wingspan celebrates the beauty of nature and encourages players to appreciate the wonders of the avian world. It's a delightful educational experience that sparks curiosity and admiration for our feathered friends.
In summary, Wingspan is an absolute gem of a board game that combines stunning artwork, strategic gameplay, and educational value. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or a nature enthusiast, this game is sure to captivate and entertain. I wholeheartedly recommend Wingspan to anyone seeking a unique and immersive gaming experience. Prepare to spread your wings and soar into a world of natural splendor!
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!

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.
