Wingspan

“Wingspan is a beautifully illustrated bird-collecting game where the artwork on each card is stunning enough to make you actually appreciate the different species. As someone who's played it a few times, I love how it's strategic but not overwhelming, with gorgeous components like the birdhouse dice tower and pastel eggs that make the whole experience feel almost meditative.”

“A beautiful board game for bird-lovers and non-bird lovers that will become bird-lovers after playing this game. I recommend playing one of the many playists out there to accompany this game (most oscillate between songs that mention birds and random bird calls... amazing.) There's also an accompanying app I believe where you can scan the bird cards and hear the bird calls. There's also incredible expansion packs that have new birds! The oceania one is the only one that is really worth it imo and adds in nectar as a fun game play element! IYKYK.”

“This is my favorite board game. The illustrations are beautiful, you learn about birds and while you’re competing against the other players, there’s no sabotage or even caring much about what they’re doing. It’s just you and your birds. The game itself isn’t totally intuitive and most people are frustrated for the first 30 minutes while they get used to the gameplay but 9/10 people love it by the end of the game.”
