help Wingspan FAQ

Who designed Wingspan and who publishes it?

Wingspan was designed by Elizabeth Hargrave and published by Stonemaier Games in 2019. Its bird art is a major part of the appeal, with work by artists including Beth Sobel.

What do players actually do in Wingspan?

Players add bird cards to forest, grassland, and wetland habitats, then build engines for food, eggs, cards, and points. The standard game supports 1 to 5 players.

Is Wingspan hard for new board game players?

It is a medium-weight engine-building game, so the first play takes some learning, but the turn structure becomes clear after a few rounds. The bird feeder dice tower and individual player boards help make the rules more physical and readable.

Which Wingspan expansion should people look at first?

European Expansion is often the easiest first expansion because it adds new bird cards without changing the core game dramatically. Oceania Expansion changes more by adding nectar and revised player boards.
