Designed by fans of the game and inspired by the remarkable avian life of New Zealand, this expansion card set drops a fresh flock of birds into your ecosystem, each one as carefully crafted mechanically as the original game's beloved roster. Crack open the pack and you'll find birds that feel genuinely new without ever feeling out of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an official Wingspan expansion produced in collaboration with the game's passionate community, celebrating the distinctive birdlife of Aotearoa New Zealand. From the flightless kiwi to the brazen kea, New Zealand hosts some of the most unusual birds on the planet — and that ecological strangeness translates into card powers that shake up your engine in interesting ways. These 25 cards slot directly into your existing Wingspan collection, compatible with the base game and any combination of expansions you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWingspan, from Stonemaier Games, is one of the most acclaimed hobby games of the past decade — a winner of the Kennerspiel des Jahres — built around attracting birds to your wildlife preserve. Each bird you play triggers actions, generates food, lays eggs, or sets off chain reactions across your tableau. The New Zealand birds continue that tradition while bringing fresh powers and interactions to the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set is for existing Wingspan players looking to refresh their collection with new strategic options and new birds to discover. It's not a standalone product — you'll need the Wingspan base game to use these cards. Wingspan itself plays one to five players, runs around forty-five to seventy minutes, and sits comfortably in the medium-weight category: meaningful decisions without a rulebook that takes an evening to absorb. These cards are a natural addition for anyone who's worn a comfortable groove into their base game and wants to widen the possibility space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll 25 cards were designed through a fan submission process, meaning each one carries the fingerprints of someone who loves this game as much as you do — then refined and tested to meet Stonemaier's standards for balance and thematic accuracy. The card artwork continues Wingspan's signature naturalist illustration style, making these birds visually consistent with every other card in your collection. The New Zealand setting also means you're meeting birds you may genuinely never have encountered before, which gives the set a quiet educational charm alongside its gameplay value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStonemaier Games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlayers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–5 (requires Wingspan base game)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Player Count\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2–4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlay Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45–70 minutes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGame Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLanguage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnglish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44664033771608,"sku":"64100280","price":12.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4980\/8728\/files\/24acfb7778c2406f8528e245ccaf6573_0.webp?v=1787768853","url":"https:\/\/borealgaming.com\/products\/wingspan-25-fan-designed-bird-cards-birds-of-new-zealand","provider":"Boreal Gaming \u0026 Cards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
