Spoiled for choice!

Played North Island Brown Kiwi and these all popped up.

I guess it helps having 6 star nests. I also scored 8 on Mechanical Engineer.

Hardest end of goals

My boyfriend and I have really gotten into this game. Looking for opinions and suggestions for the hardest en of goals. We have tried all 3 tiles for the birds in each habitat plus birds in a nest with eggs. As well as all 4 different nests with eggs. Looking for other possibilities!

Any quick, non-board wingspan-based games people are playing?

My family and I love Wingspan (just bought Oceania—love it), but setting up and tearing down often holds us back. It occurred to me maybe we can invent some game that just uses a subset of the pieces, without board, eggs, food, etc. Has anyone done this or know of a popular Wingspan lite?

Kid-Friendly Games for Wingspan loving family?

Apologies if this has been asked — I searched and didn’t see anything. My husband and I both LOVE Wingspan — we can play for hours on end. Our 7 year old loves playing games too, but the learning curve on Wingspan seems still a bit too steep. Does anyone have recommendations for similar games that we might enjoy as a family and might help him build up some skills/familiarity with similar but simpler gameplay (engine-building, not SUPER competitive, etc.?

Wingspan on PS5 versus Switch?

I'm considering buying my husband Wingspan on PS5 or Switch so we can play together. We've played the board game but not the video game version. Does anyone know if the game is the same on both consoles? I've seen several posts about the Switch but he prefers PS5 for most games.

Apologies if this is an uninformed question, I am not a gamer!

Low Price Aust

Just in case others Aussies are thinking of grabbing the base set, I just noticed KMart has it listed for $49, which is a good price.

Do Wingspan discount codes for Steam always stack with sales?

I already have a copy of Wingspan on Steam (bought with stacking a coupon+Steam sale), but got a discount code with my copy of the Oceania expansion so sent it to a friend.

Steam apparently accepted the code as valid so I assume it hadn't expired, but no discount is applying. He also doesn't have any coupons in his Steam inventory, which strikes me as odd as I think that's usually where Steam coupons digitally sit before being used.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here?

I’m begging for a “rematch” option on the app

It drives me crazy typing in my friends’ usernames each time. That is all

Wingspan if I already own Asia

I see that the main Wingspan game is on sale at the moment in a lot of places, I currently own only Wingspan Asia as I solely play the game at 2 player count.

Is buying the main Wingspan game worth it for me if I only play at two player? Or will it add very little to the Asia expansion playing duet mode.

Thank you!

First time playing the board game! 🕊️🦅🦆🦜🦢🦃🦉🐦‍⬛

I scored a measly 41 points…but this was the most aesthetically pleasing board game I’ve ever played. It was really beautiful. 🩷

Tuckinator Achievement Guide - All Galah all the Time

Idk if this has been posted here before, but for those chasing the Tuckinator achievement, I just stumbled upon it in a pretty funny and easy fashion. All you need is a Galah in your opening hand. Take 4 food. Play it turn one, and then activate it every turn for the rest of the game, that’ll get you exactly 50 tucks lol

Rose-Ringed Parakeet and Endangered Species Specialist

If the Rose-Ringed Parakeet (Copy a neighbor's "when played" power) is played and copies a bonus card bird (Eg. Bell's Vireo), does the Rose-Ringed Parakeet count for the Endangered Species Specialist bonus? It allowed me to draw bonus cards, but not by its own merit, so how does this work?

Games with a Planted/Wingspan/Trails vibe

I love games but only certain types of games. The artwork of a game truly makes or breaks the game for me. I’m big into “cutesy/cozy” games and a lot of game artwork isn’t my vibe, even some that others say is beautiful.

I don’t love games with a super difficult gameplay but I also don’t want it to be too simple/repetitive/boring. Planted, Wingspan and Trails really check all the boxes for me and they are the type of aesthetic I love. Anybody have any suggestions?

Also, is Parks really different enough from Trails to buy it? What are some major differences? Also I’ve seen a lot of plant themed games that look super pretty but a lot of them feel very similar in gameplay to Planted. I don’t like having two games with basically the same exact gameplay.

A round of applause for this butcherbird, who went 4/4 on his hunts and hit all four of my bonus cards.
