You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves.

• Gain food tokens via custom dice in a birdfeeder dice tower
• Lay eggs using egg miniatures in a variety of colors
• Draw from hundreds of unique bird cards and play them
The winner is the player with the most points accumulated from birds, bonus cards, end-of-round goals, eggs, cached food, and tucked birds.
Featured Components:
• 170 uniquely illustrated and designed bird cards
• 75 egg miniatures
• 1 birdfeeder dice tower
• 5 huge player mats
• 5 large custom dice
• 2-piece Game Trayz custom insert
• and much, much more!

More Than a Board Game
"Though Wingspan is ultimately a game about birds, I can’t help but see it fitting into the broader cultural reckoning we’re living through — that includes rethinking conservation and biodiversity to focus on abundance, equity, and the idea that we’re all a part of a web of life. The Wingspan Board Game feels like a part of that." - Brian Anderson for Vox.
