Wingspan

Birders!

Some time ago on Wingspan Digital Discord server, we collected questions for Elizabeth Hargrave, the creator, and designer of Wingspan and all its board expansions. Elizabeth answered some of them while playing Oceania Expansion with Krzysiek Zarczynski, co-founder of Monster Couch.

Are you curious about who won? Have you asked the question and are waiting for the answer?

Say no more. Enough waiting!

The recording of the meeting is now available! You can watch it below:

What's more, we want to remind you that the release of Wingspan: Oceania Expansion IS SEVEN DAYS FROM NOW. We are extremely excited and can't wait for you to start your journey with the birds of Oceania and the new gameplay features.

Get your wings ready and ruffle your feathers, because an adventure full of birds of paradise on the next continent is just around the corner!

See you on December 12, 10 a.m. PST!

Hey Birders!

Did you know that in Wingspan: Oceania Expansion you'll be able to play on a refreshed board and with new dice? 🎲🌴

The new board enables you to get more food and cards than before while taking some of the focus on laying eggs away. All these changes diversify available strategies.🥚

The revamped board and dice will be available only with the Oceania deck.

We can't wait for you to try it out!

Hey Birders,

You were chirping, we listened! You will be able to UNRAVEN your Wingspan games!

With the upcoming release of Wingspan: Oceania Expansion, we will introduce the rulebook’s suggestion and give all players an option to ditch the Chihuahuan Raven and Common Raven in single-player and custom multiplayer games! The option will also be available to all Birders who do not have Oceania Expansion.

Fed up with the constant cawing? No worries. Customize your deck pre-game and say farewell to those black-feathered individuals. Tailor your gaming experience to suit your style.

You'll be able to crank up your strategy with a new end-game power, feed your birds with sweet nectar, and test yourself with new end-of-round goals that will give Wingspan a fresh twist. An updated player mat wrapped in beautiful Oceania-inspired backgrounds and relaxing music will enhance your experience of creating the top-scoring wildlife preserve.



Beloved features such as cross-platform multiplayer and Automa mode in Wingspan will also be included, ensuring a comprehensive gaming adventure.

All this will be waiting for you on December 12th at 10 a.m. PST, on Steam and other platforms!
