Description
Wingspan is a relaxing, award-winning strategy card game about birds for 1 to 5 players. Each bird you play extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your three habitats. Your goal is to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves.
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Perfect adaptation
I haven’t come across Monster couch before, but I sure will be looking out for their next board game digital implementation. This is digital board game done right. Presentation: stunningly gorgeous. Not only does the game look stellar, the addition of genuine bird sounds takes it to a completely new level. Completely justifies the £9.99 price point. Ease of play: not sure how, but I feel there might be room for improvement. I love the board view and rarely look at the “other” more beautiful view. Very useful to see opponent turns pop up so you don’t have to keep switching to their board. Online: I don’t use iOS board games for multiplayer as I prefer my games in real life with friends around the table. So that’s one thing I can’t comment on. Performance: Played several games. No crashes. AI turn takes a second too long, but that’s just me being impatient. Verdict: one of the best looking and smooth running board game implementations I’ve played in long time.
Beautiful wholesome game
Really love this game. It’s just complex enough to be interesting but simple enough that it’s not boring to learn. The graphics and music are excellent. I didn’t mind paying the price for this as I know it’s more niche so the devs have to be able to make money this way. It’s great on an iPad but some things are small so I would say if you have a small iPad or trouble with your eyesight maybe buy this on PC instead. I’ve had one crash but the game seems to have a great auto save to allow you to jump right back in.
Love the game but online matches need work
I love this game, I’m a fan of strategy but also not super competitive. Wingspan allows you to play a decent strategy game without feeling highly pressured. The art and music of this game easily makes it a 5*
However the online matchmaking could use some improvements. It’s frustrating getting close to finishing a match and it takes someone a whole 5 mins to make a move. In my experience if they haven’t done it in 3 mins, they usually stop making moves and it forces all players to disconnect.
An improvement might be to either reduce time taking turns meaning players are waiting for less time and/or allowing 2 players to continue an online match if one drops out.
Would make this review a 5* with matchmaking improvements.
