A Great Learn as you Play Game!

This little darling of a board game has been a bestseller everywhere since it came out. And while there are far superior games in terms of strategy and mechanics, Wingspan’s beautiful art, components and easy to learn mechanics make it incredibly popular with people outside of the hobby as well as within it. In Wingspan you play Birdwatchers attempting to lure various species of birds to your habitats. All of the birds are unique and have special effects that can dictate how many victory points you get at the end of the game! Have a look at the Jonniis ‘What is… Wingspan’ video over on the Chaos Cards Youtube Channel if you want to find out more!

As with most other Stonemaier Games board games, Wingspan has an Automa. An Automa is a dedicated system designed purely for solo play and to give the consumer the same gameplay experience as they would get with more players around them. Wingspan’s Automa is very simple (it has an app too!) where the Automa player will perform certain actions, some of which will hinder you, but most will gain the Automa itself more points. Like Wingspan acts at a higher player count, it’s very much a solitaire experience too where there is very little interaction between the yourself and the Automa. You’re aim as a whole is to get more points than the Automa, as well as beating your previous scores.

Ornithologists Unite!

Board games that have very little interaction between players are ideal for solo play and Wingspan is no exception to that. With an app to help out too, this birdy-based game is very flexible with who can play. Alternatively, if you are more a fan of Dragons, maybe Wyrmspan could be the game for you! Wyrmspan is inspired by the mechanics of Wingspan but instead of Birds, you focus on building a sanctuary for Dragons!

This game has had a glowing reception from most all outlets, and we are no exception! If you enjoy Terraforming Mars and Gizmos, we think this game will take flight at your table. Its a perfect gift for friends and families over the Christmas Season. For those that enjoy the base game, there are even some lovely expansions and accessories to add! It is sure to be a hit all round.
