The officially licensed digital adaptation of Wingspan, the winner of the prestigious 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres board game award.

You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats. Each habitat focuses on a key aspect of the growth of your preserves.

In Wingspan up to 5 players compete to build up their nature preserves in a limited number of turns. Each beautiful bird that you add to your preserve makes you better at laying eggs, drawing cards, or gathering food. Many of the 170 unique birds have powers that echo real life: your hawks will hunt, your pelicans will fish, and your geese will form a flock.

Features
* Relaxing strategy card game where your goal is to discover and attract the best birds.
* Single player and multiplayer modes for up to five players.
* Based on the award winning, competitive, medium-weight, card-driven, engine-building board game.
* Hundreds of unique, animated birds with their real life sound recordings.
* Multiple ways to accumulate points with birds, bonus cards and end-of-round goals.

    Wow, Wingspan. Will have to see how it plays on the Switch, and how the turn based mechanics work.
    The physical board game is absolutely fantastic and really easy to play.
    Seems like a great price.

  • Also keen to know how the Wingspan local co-op works, do we pass the Switch around? If so, might not be as fun as the others are just twiddling their fingers.

      You can do it that way or just see each others hand on the big screen (there's no way to obscure this when sharing one display).

      When playing on the screen you either pass the controller or sync other controllers, but all of them do the same thing i.e. all of you can control everyone's turn.

      It's a bit clunky in that regard, but still very playable and enjoyable.

      • FWIW, I believe the rules of the game are actually ambiguous on whether players hands and objectives are meant to be open or hidden. I understand this may be intention, allowing you to play however you wish.

        (Haven't actually read the rules myself, as my copy of the game is unopened - have only played other people's copies, and never actually read the rules myself!)

    Nice, keen to try Wingspan as I've heard good things about the board game.
