Questions tagged [wingspan]

For questions about the bird themed engine builder game .

Your goal is to collect points with your birds. But as usual, your actions are limited (8 in the first round, 7 in the second and 6, 5 in the next two). For each action you can:

  • place a bird in one of the three habitats.
  • Get food
  • Get eggs
  • Get cards

The last three actions are tied to a habitat. More birds in a habitat means the actions are getting stronger. And it also triggers the actions of the birds already played.
