## Description

desertcart.com: Stonemaier Games: Wingspan (Base Game) by Elizabeth Hargrave | A Relaxing, Award-Winning Strategy Board Game About Collecting Birds for Adults and Family | 1-5 Players, 70 Mins : Everything Else

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

- 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 Winning: WIngspan is the 2019 winner of the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres award, along with many others!
- High Replayability: WIth 170 unique bird cards, 26 bonus goal cards, and 8 goal tiles, Wingspan provides endless opportunities for bird combinations and goal achievements, making this a great gift for families, teenagers, students, couples, and anyone who loves birds and nature.
- For families, solo gamers, and game groups alike: This medium weight, set collection and hand management strategy game for 1-5 players has a 60-90 minute playing time with only a 6 minute setup time. Great game for couples, solo gamers, 2 players, family, and friends. Includes swift-start pack for first time player guidance.
- Wonderful Game Design and Gorgeous Bird Illustrations: Fantastic design by Elizabeth Hargrave (Undergrove). 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 (Waddle Waddle), Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo (Finspan), and Beth Sobel (Calico) 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 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 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.
- Created by Women: Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave (Undergrove). Natalia Rojas (Waddle Waddle), Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo (Finspan), and Beth Sobel (Calico).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the basic and the one with the swift start pack? I see the one with the swift start pack being more cheap than the basic**
A: It is the same as the base version that came before this one. All new versions of Wingspan includes the swift start promo pack that helps teach the game to new players. It is four guides and 10 new bird cards. The guides walk players through four turns, and the 10 new cards can be shuffled into the deck for both learning and non-learning games.

**Q: Could you buy 2 games and combine to add more players?**
A: Yes, but you don't want to! Even with 5 players the game drags a bit. It works best with 1-4 players; you don't want to add more than that. Get two games and set up two tables! Everyone will have more fun that way.

**Q: Should I get the one with the swift starter pack for $59 or the one being released on February 23 for $89 what is the difference?**
A: The $59 version is fine, the $89 is most likely a reseller. You could also go to the Stonemaier Games website and sign up as a Champion (membership) for $15 a year and get 25% off all their games. The price for the membership/Wingspan will end up being the same, but your following purchases will save you more if you like their games and get it through their website.

**Q: I was hoping to learn about birds and instead I feel overwhelmed by game rules.  Does one actually learn about the birds?**
A: that depends on you and where you want to focus.  each card has some info at the bottom, but not loads.  you learn their wingspan and other info like habitat, general diet, and nest type.  not sure if the egg capacity is based 100% on the actual egg laying specs of each bird. 
 the bird illustrations are beautiful.  but it's not as informative as a birding book.  it's a fun, chill strategy game with a birding theme.  the rules can be daunting at first.  i'd recommend watching some youtube videos like rodney from the "watch it played" channel.  also the swift starter pack will help.  but to really learn about birds, get a good field guide.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I LOVE this game, but I know it is not for everyone
*by A***E on December 28, 2025*

This is one of my favourite games, the design is lovely and strategizing is very fun. However, it is a calm game, where you focus on yourself more than others and pacing will be affected by distracted players who aren’t thinking of their next move during other player’s turns. It has a bit of a learning curve but nothing brings me peace like a game of wingspan. Those who prefer faster paced games will disagree with me.
