Overview

Wingspan is a relaxing, award-winning strategy card game about birds for one to five players. You create flocks of birds to extend a chain of powerful combinations in one of your three habitats. Your goal is to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves.

While the board game is excellent, in video game form it gains a single-player mode, beautiful animations and a simpler learning curve for younger players. It also offers an unusual theme of understanding wildlife in detail, not only identifying birds but how they behave, live and survive.
