What this is
Wingspan is an engine-building card game about attracting birds to three habitats in a personal wildlife preserve. Playing a bird costs food and eggs, but each new arrival strengthens the action row for gathering food, laying eggs, or drawing cards, often triggering additional bird abilities along the way. Round goals and private objectives reward different approaches, encouraging players to shape a distinct ecosystem from the birds available.
