Wingspan is an engine-building game for 1–5 players. Attract birds to your wildlife preserves.
Each turn: play a bird, gain food, lay eggs, or draw cards.
Focus on the forest habitat first — food generation powers everything else.
Play birds as soon as you can afford them.
End-of-round goals drive scoring. Plan bird placement around upcoming goals.
Tucking and caching in the wetland generates massive late-game points.
