“A very enjoyable game - plenty to keep a player occupied and amused as well as enough competition (if you choose that variant). Plays well 2 player and 4 player.”

“We are obsessed with Wingspan, it is brilliant. Lots of strategy to keep in your head. We have found it is better with more than 2 people, but still enjoyable with 2.”

“This game is so much fun, it takes a bit to set up, & learn, but is so worth it & addictive after, we played as a 5 group for our very first game & we all loved it & couldn’t stop playing! It’s a long game to play if there are a lot of you, that’s not an understatement but if your friends/ family are board game inclined this is definitely one to add to your collection”

“I have read so much about Wingspan and watched countless videos and the game has been on my wanted list since it was published. In a nutshell I should have pushed it up to number one spot. What a gem of a game!! The artwork alone for both the cards and the boards is beyond stunning and that is more than also matched in the gameplay itself. Only having recently purchased Wingspan I am still getting to grips with the rules and the strategy so I admit I cannot give an in-depth review on the finer points of gameplay itself. However after even a cursory scan through the rule book and starter pack rules (which includes ten bonus bird cards and individual player boards 1 to 4) not to mention the Automa rules as well I would say Wingspan is set to become one of my go-to-games to play on more than a regular basis. I am a big fan of Stonemaier Games, only recently discovering Scythe and all of it's expansions. Two very different games and totally different in character they nevertheless seem to complement each other in a way with their engine building mechanics. Verdict....buy Wingspan, the expansions have now moved into my top three future purchases from Zatu!”
