Rundown:

If you are like me, you really enjoy wingspan and want everything for it. This may not be an addition to gameplay, however, it enhances the game through cosmetic immersion.

Alteration:

The base game included 5 coloured eggs. With a new colour being added with each expansion. For me, those eggs are a cosmetic addition that's always welcomed. This egg-spansion comes with 10 different coloured eggs, each with a secondary colour speckled throughout.

Production:

Size and quality wise, these speckled eggs match those from the base game and expansions.

Interaction:

The interactions that these eggs add is an enhancement to the game. If you are like me, you have enhanced Wingspan as much as you can by 3D printing resources and birdhouses as the player action pieces. So gaining 100 new eggs of different colours is an easy addition to my wingspan collection.

Determination:

Pros:

- Ten new egg colours.

- Unique style of eggs.

- Blends well with the other eggs.

Cons:

- This is purely a cosmetic expansion and does not add to gameplay.

If you are a huge fan of Wingspan and are always looking for the latest way to give your games more table presence and awe factor then these speckled eggs are a great addition to your ever-growing Wingspan collection.
