Wingspan is the new game from Stonemaier games. They create some of the best produced games on the market and I'm always happy to have a small part in bringing them to fruition. This game features the unique theming of ornithology and it has deck builder mechanics similar to Terraforming Mars, one of the breakout hits of the previous year. This game looks to be a great introductory game to people who are new to the hobby, but still contains the tough decisions seasoned gamers yearn for.
Stonemaier describes the game as such:
"Wingspan is a competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game from Stonemaier Games.
You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your aviary. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats (actions). These habitats focus on several key aspects of growth:
--Gain food tokens via custom dice in a bird feeder dice tower
--Lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors
--Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them
--Lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors
--Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them
The winner is the player with the most points after 4 rounds."
