Wingspan Collection

Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and published in 2019. In this beautifully illustrated game, players take on the roles of bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to their network of wildlife preserves. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats (Forest, Grassland, and Wetland), each of which focuses on a key aspect of the growth of your preserves.

The base game of Wingspan features 170 unique bird cards, drawing from a wide variety of North American species. Players gain points by accumulating birds, completing bonus objectives, and building up their collections with eggs, food tokens, and the use of bird powers. The game is celebrated for its educational value, stunning artwork, and strategic depth, offering an immersive experience into the world of avian conservation and biodiversity.

Wingspan has since expanded its horizon with several expansions, including:

• European Expansion: Introduces European birds, offering new strategies and increasing the variety of birds.
• Oceania Expansion: Adds birds from the Oceania region and includes new player mats and eggs, enriching the game's strategic options.
• Asia Expansion: Introduces Asian birds and new gameplay mechanics.

Each expansion not only adds a wealth of new bird species and beautifully illustrated cards but also introduces new gameplay elements and strategies, keeping the game fresh and engaging for players. Wingspan and its expansions have received widespread acclaim, appealing to both hardcore gamers and those new to the hobby, making it a standout title in the modern board game renaissance.
