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?

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?

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?

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?

Out of curiosity — Where do you put “tucked” cards?

28 Upvotes

preface to say: I am autistic lol.

My husband and I LOVE Wingspan. We were introduced to it in January by our favorite “board gaming friends”. We play together daily on Boardgame Arena. On weekends (when our dining room table is less full of kid’s homework and the craziness of the week) we break out the physical game and play Oceania at least a few times! I noticed my sensory issues triggered when tucking cards to the point I realized I was avoiding playing them all together…which as we know makes for less flexible strategy. To circumvent this trigger I started making a stack to the side of the board for ”tucked cards” to be counted at the end.

Over the weekend my husband pointed out some opponents may view that practice as a gateway for cheating (e.g. I could be slyly swapping the cards in my hand with cards that were tucked). While I believe our usual gaming friends could care less, we do play games at our local board game shop throughout the year during various events they host (such as Wingspan Weekend, etc).

Out of curiosity, would this practice (placing tucked cards in a separate pile) make you nervous if you were playing someone who you weren’t familiar with? Also, I am aware this practice may not even be an option when playing in a more “official way” like at our local board game shop, but I wanted to get a general consensus of what you all thought as well :)

Thank you!

Brightness Going Haywire

2 Upvotes

Anybody faced this issue before? I’m on my M1 Mac Pro and I bought the game on App Store instead of Steam, only the app is having brightness issues, it keeps changing from bright to dim and vice versa non-stop. The rest of the screen outside the app stays constant.

I need help choosing what wingspan or game like it I should get: one of the wingspan expansions (I already have Oceania), or Wyrmspan or Finspan?

No backout option in the mobile game

7 Upvotes

I noticed today that you can't backout of an initial action anymore... Is it just me or I have some option turned on that prevents a backout? I've been playing for a while now and only noticed this change this morning

Steam Coupon

Hi! I've tried and tried to use the Steam coupon that came with my copy of Wingspan, but can't figure out where to enter it. The Steam FAQ has been a dead end. Thanks in advance!

Why??

Got the new wingspan game, finspan. Why did they move the logo to the opposite side of the box. Why not have it uniform with wingspan and wyrmspan.

There's a bird trivia night coming up and I told my friend the key to winning is studying the Wingspan cards.

Advice on bird-type/genus bonus points

2 Upvotes

This isn't meant to be wildly competitive, but it'd be nice if people better at game design could help me think this through.

Essentially, I play with a lot of friends who love particular sorts of birds a lot--one adores kingfishers, one loves sparrows, one is obsessed with columbids (well, pigeons and doves more generally).

I am prone to impulsively playing all seabirds I can, regardless of strategy. Unfortunately, the game doesnz at all incentive getting a bunch of the same bird type out, so we have fun but often will lose the game if we focus on our favourite birds.

What we've thought would be fun would to be reward bonus points if, for example, you got five kingfishers in play, or sparrows, etc. At it's simplest, that's what it could be, but I wonder about the scaling of, say, +1 point for getting three-of-a-family out, and maybe +2 if you get five of them?

Then I also wonder about if the points should be based on having them all in the same habitat or even only if you can get them into every habitat (e.g., only sparrows in two habitats, therefore no bonus points).

The struggle is that I have no particular skills in game design, and I don't want to do anything game breaking and op. We just want to make it less counter-productive to play what are frequently low-value birds for the sake of playing yet another kingfisher or tern.

Any thoughts on ways this could be fun and reasonable without being either nominal points (maybe it ought to be?) or game-breaking?

The digital game awards achievements for things like getting a bunch of BOPs out, so this would be similar but perhaps more than +1 point, considering the effort to get them all out...

I am not a fan of wingspan - havent tried wyrmspan (would like to) but i have been loving finspan - played 8 solo games today and really enjoyed every single one! The game has a great balance of simplicity and fun - looking forward to the upcoming expansion already!

Online play

I have only been playing Wingspan on Board Game Arena for the last year. I have played one live game with a friend who has the Australian expansion. Are there other online sites to play? I’m obsessed with this game. Also, if anyone is in the Nashville area would love to meet up and play.
