Introduction: The group of expanding avians has reached its way to Asia’s habitat and engulfed new birds and new goals.  More importantly than this, the expansion changes the player count to seven with Flock mode, and reformulates the way a two player game plays. This allows the Asia expansion to actually be used as a standalone jumping on point for individual play with two players. Flock Mode: Flock mode uses the components a player has from the Asia expans...

Introduction: Stonemaier Games is well known for a bird-watching game called Wingspan. Wyrmspan is a spin-off game with a similar essence of engine building but with many changes that creates a different feeling game and allows room in your collection for both. The two most notable changes are the lack of dice and the introduction of a new currency called silver coins which will determine how many turns you have per round. Game Anatomy: Silver Coins: At the start of every round, players ...

Wingspan Nest Bowl and First Player Marker: Review Introduction: Wingspan is a best-selling game by Stonemaier Games. Players are bird watchers collecting birds. Each card is a unique bird and players are using these birds to create engines that will expand and activate whenever the player uses that habitat. For the full review you can read my original here .  This is a game that already has a great table presence with gorgeous multicoloured eggs, but nowhere to really store them during the game. The team at Game Maker have you covered with these sturdy and detailed 3D-printed nest bowls. Nest Bowl: The Nest bowls could be used in two ways. They could be used for each player to store the resources that are accruing throughout the game, or they can be used to store the game’s egg resources. I find the better use to be the second option of  storing the pool of egg resources as these bowls are a perfect size and can hold a large number of eggs. I have the majority of the Wingspa...

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....
