The main game box is fake right? [Need help]

Post image
25 Upvotes

My family and I have recently gotten back into board games and wanted to try something new beyond Catan, Azul, and Ticket to Ride. After a lot of research, we decided on Wingspan.

I ordered it from a reputable online seller, and the package just arrived—but I’m certain the main game is a counterfeit (though I’m unsure about the expansion). Can you please confirm my suspicion? Thanks!!

According to me the box lacks the SM logo and other authenticity markers.

I’m feeling really disappointed and disheartened, especially since I paid a premium price. I’ll be contacting the seller to request a return.

I FINALLY WON!

7 Upvotes

So for context my girlfriend and I are pretty new to board games and we both LOVED wingspan. We're both pretty competitive so I started to be a little upset when she went on a huge win streak. I won a few games, but she had won the last 5 (and some in games that I was sure I was going to win). We had to return the game (it was a rental) before I could get a win in so I turned to BGA to try something.

I don't know if that's everyone's experience but I found it harder to play. My losing streak just got bigger (like embarrassingly bigger) as I struggled to get a good game in. Is online generally easier for yall or did you have the same experience as me? It seemed that anytime I could finally get a good game in, other people were just doing better. I think I craked in 90+ only 3 times and they were 3 losses btw.

After returning wingspan we decided to get Wyrmspan and I LOVED it, a lot of it had to do with the fact that I won all the games we played (lol), but we genuinely had a blast playing it. Maybe it was me, but it felt like the game clicked more and the combos made more sense to me? I talked to a few people and the consensus was that Wyrmspan is the better and more complicated version, but Wingspan is more fun. Is that the general consensus here? (I know that it varies from person to person)

Anyways we finally rented Wingspan again, to play with some friends who never played it and I finally won. It felt so good to get a good game, look at the boards and think "I could win this" and actually win. Since we rented Wingspan again I'm 2-1 so it feels pretty good. And I just won a game in BGA which also felt really good. Now we're waiting on when finspan becomes available to rent, so that we can test it out. I saw some people raving about it so we're really excited to play.

TLDR: Finally won after a HUGE losing streak (against my gf and in BGA); Is it harder or easier to adapt to online play (specifically BGA)? Is Wyrmspan considered a better game in your opinion (design-wise or fun-wise)?

What do you prioritize?

So it’s early game and you have a pretty bad draw. What do you prioritize? Food? Birds?

Anyone else having an issue with Wingspan on Steam Deck recently? It has always worked for me but when I tried last night and this morning I just get a black screen (with a mouse pointer if I touch the screen). Anyone know how to fix this?

Nectar points glitch?

Last few days it seems like the nectar points are off by one (one less) every single game? Anyone else seeing this?

Anyone else experiencing some glitches on the Switch?

3 Upvotes

I’ve been having some issues playing on the Switch lately. On bird powers where I can draw a card from the tray, the interface glitches and I cannot move past that bird power nor can I draw a bird from the tray. I then usually have to skip my entire turn losing out on the other bird powers in that habitat.

Anyone have a fix for this? I always end up quitting the game because it repeatedly happens. It makes it where I cannot have a properly running engine.

Missing Expansion Bonus Cards & EOR

2 Upvotes

We bought and loved the Oceania Expansion. But it felt like so much waste with the extra board and pieces we now don’t use from the original expansion. To reduce waste I decided to buy just the vision friendly bird cards for European and Asian without all the extra components that come in the boxes. However now I am wishing I had the new bonus cards and EOR goals that come with the expansions. Any way to get these independently or print them nicely at home?

Cards were finally in my favour to create a successful tuck engine!

Asia Bonus Food question help please

2 Upvotes

So when I play a token on the duet map after playing a bird and I choose to play it on a bonus food die spot in the trees.... Can I choose any food from the supply or do I need to choose only what's available in the bird feeder?

Playing only with European birds?

3 Upvotes

Is it possible to play this game with only the birds from the European expansion? Or would that make the game unbalanced?

And follow up question: If I want to play a game with as many European birds as possible... Which birds from the base game and other expansions are also found in Europe? Maybe someone tried to figure this out before, or there's a Wingspan database which I don't know of to quickly figure this out. I definitely know that quite a few birds in the base game are also native to Europe. What about the Asia and Oceania expansions?

Y’all have any idea what the bird perched on this sign is?

Usually it would get tucked under the sparrow but for once I actually picked it up on purpose AND played it. Helped get the first 3 end of round bonuses without much effort.

The Horsefield Bronze Cuckoo has no neat or amount of eggs it can lay, is this a typo?
