Stonemaier Games • 2019
An acclaimed engine-building board game where players act as bird enthusiasts, researchers, and collectors seeking to attract diverse bird species to their wildlife preserves. Over four rounds, players gain food tokens, lay eggs, and draw from hundreds of unique illustrated bird cards. Each bird added to a habitat triggers powerful cascading action chains whenever that habitat is activated. Wingspan gained global acclaim for combining accessible engine-building mechanics with breathtaking aesthetic design. The game includes over 170 unique bird cards, custom wooden dice, pastel egg tokens, and a birdhouse-shaped dice tower. Designed for 1 to 5 players, games take 40 to 70 minutes. As your habitats fill with birds, executing a single action triggers a satisfying sequence of card powers, making Wingspan a deeply rewarding experience for tabletop gamers of all skill levels.

Most board games quietly fall apart above 4 players. Turns drag, half the table checks out, and someone ends up on their phone. These are the ones that actually hold up at 6, 7, and 8 — games where more people means more energy, not more waiting.
Your group has played Codenames enough. These are games where decisions matter, bluffs have consequences, and paying attention is rewarded. Heavier and more demanding than party games, and more satisfying because of it.
