Wingspan: The Board Game

Our take

Wingspan earned its acclaim honestly, engine-building depth wrapped in a genuinely lovely bird theme, and this port doesn’t seem to have cut corners. It won’t convert someone looking for a five-minute puzzle break, but for its intended audience it’s close to best-in-class.

About Wingspan: The Board Game

Wingspan is a relaxing, award-winning strategy card game about birds for 1 to 5 players. Each bird you play extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your three habitats. Your goal is to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves.

You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves.
