I do recommend you play the game with another adult and become familiar with it before teaching the game to your kids. We helped coach them through their turns a lot at the beginning, but they quickly caught on to how the game works. The game states for ages 10+, but we have played it with our kids who are 9 and 7 years old. Yes! You can absolutely play Wingspan with kids and I highly encourage you to do so. So, we will probably be grabbing the Wingspan European Expansion soon. We enjoy this game so much the kids are already asking about expansions for more bird cards. In fact, you may end up wishing there was more time to build up your player mat! With all the different bird cards and combination of bonus objectives and round goals, it doesn't feel like the same thing over and over again.Īlthough we do not consider it a quick game to play, the gameplay doesn't feel long. Wingspan is not difficult to learn how to play, but it provides enough challenge to keep my brain engaged through multiple plays. After playing the solo version, I told Brian how much my brain enjoyed the challenge. The game was just as fun and challenging regardless of the player count. I've played Wingspan with only two players as well as with four, and I've played the solo variation. That the bird powers are based on real life behaviors and not just some random game action. Plus, I love that Wingspan is a board game created using scientific information. I know a game about birding may seem boring, but I find some of my favorite strategy games have themes that don't particularly sound exciting. Our games take longer than they should simply because we spend so much time looking at the cards. Set that die (or dice) outside of the bird feeder and add that food token to your supply.īeautiful design is another thing you'll notice immediately.
Then select the number of dice shown on that space from the bird feeder dice tower. To gain food tokens, place a cube in the first available space on that row. If the card has a “when played” action, follow the directions immediately after placing the card on your player mat. Later birds will have an egg and food cost. Playing birds in the first column only have a food cost. To play a bird, you must have the correct food tokens as shown in the upper left hand corner to attract it to your habitat. Place a cube on the first open space (going left to right) for the action you have chosen. Players must choose one out of four possible actions to do on each turn: The game is then played through multiple turns over four rounds. It helps to keep in mind which food is needed to play the birds in your hand and look for birds that satisfy your bonus card. Players will also need to decide which cards to keep and pay 1 food for each. Next, players will then choose to keep 1 bonus objective card and discard the other. Wingspan Game SetupĪfter setting out all of the game components, give each player 2 bonus cards, 5 bird cards, and 1 of each food type for a total of 5 food. Once you know the game, it's easy to teach others how to play by diving straight in without the Swift-Start Pack. I highly recommend using this the first time you play as it is a great way to learn the game.
