Wingspan [Board Game]

Discover the enchanting world of ornithology with Wingspan, an award-winning board game from Stonemaier Games that combines strategy, beauty, and a love for nature. Designed by Elizabeth Hargrave, this captivating game invites 1-5 players to step into the role of bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, and conservationists—working to attract the most diverse and thriving flock to their wildlife preserves.  

In Wingspan, you’ll compete to build your own network of bird habitats by playing bird cards, each featuring stunning, hand-illustrated artwork of 170 unique North American species. Lay eggs, gather food, and activate special bird abilities to maximize your points across four rounds. With every turn, you’ll face delightful decisions: will you expand your preserve, nurture your flock, or unlock powerful bonuses? The game’s innovative engine-building mechanics reward clever planning and adaptability, making every playthrough feel fresh and engaging.  

The box includes a beautifully crafted set of components: 170 bird cards, 5 player mats, a bird feeder dice tower, colorful wooden eggs, and a dynamic scoring system tied to ever-changing end-of-round goals. Perfect for casual gamers and seasoned strategists alike, Wingspan blends accessible rules (ages 10+) with deep tactical depth, all wrapped in an educational and visually spectacular package. A typical game lasts 40-70 minutes—ideal for a cozy game night or a solo adventure.  

Winner of the prestigious 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres award, Wingspan is more than a game—it’s a celebration of nature’s winged wonders. Whether you’re drawn by the theme, the strategy, or the sheer beauty of the production, this is a must-have addition to any board game collection.
