Description

Wingspan is a relaxing, award-winning strategy card game about birds for 1 to 5 players. Each bird you play extends 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. You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of wildlife preserves. Each bird extends a chain of powerful combinations in one of your habitats. Each habitat focuses on a key aspect of the growth of your preserves. In Wingspan up to 5 players compete to build up their nature preserves in a limited number of turns. Each beautiful bird that you add to your preserve makes you better at laying eggs, drawing cards, or gathering food. Many of the 170 unique birds have powers that echo real life: your hawks will hunt, your pelicans will fish, and your geese will form a flock. Features - Relaxing strategy card game where your goal is to discover and attract the best birds. - Single player and multiplayer modes for up to five players. - Based on award winning, competitive, card-driven, engine-building board game. - Hundreds of unique, animated birds with their real life sound recordings. - Multiple ways to accumulate points with birds, bonus cards and end-of-round goals.

  • Crashes Regularly

    I love this game, and the app does a tolerable job of executing the game rules and with nice art. Unfortunately, the game regularly crashes - to the point that it is almost unplayable. This app has been available for quite some time, so it is unacceptable to have such jarring technical issues at this point. How this app gets such consistently high reviews is a mystery. I really wish that more time were spent on technical excellence and less on cutesy stuff. Since I am pointing out faults in development management decisions, there are several more issues in that regard. For instance, the game is terribly slow. In addition, turning off animations doesn’t turn off all animations; the highlighted boxes continue to oscillate, the scoring insists on SLOWLY moving the scores for each player, and so forth. Furthermore, there is no way to save a game, so if you put it aside and it crashes, there is no way to recover the game. I can’t think of any other game where saving is not possible - truly astounding!
  • Great Game: Please Fix Karma

    This is a beautiful game! There is one big thing that needs to change: karma. When I first began playing I took a bit per a turn to learn the game. A couple times I would take too long learning the game (over 5 min) and it would boot me off without warning. This caused Karma to drop. This only happened twice for me, but somehow the Karma is set to 51/100 and no matter how much I play full games it stays at 51. Now I am stuck playing with people that leave the game halfway through. I have tried playing ‘locally’ as it suggests when this happens, but the computer to finish locally is not challenging. When I win games locally nothing happens with Karma. I have tried to delete the game and upload it again. No luck, it deletes all data but Karma. This is a beautiful game, but people leave over 75% of the time mid game. It's frustrating and has lowered the quality in game play.
  • Excellent Adaptation

    This game was so excellently adapted from the board game to an app! Monster Couch has done a phenomenal job! If you haven’t played Wingspan, try the base game here. I would also recommend buying the board game as well.
  • Should be 5 star!

    I love the board game and the digital version but when I play on my phone I have trouble reading the fine print on the cards and even the nest and power symbols. I have to take screenshots and read the cards in photos! It would be nice if I could zoom in somehow?
  • Honestly this might be better than the board game

    I looooove the board game but am also loving the experience of playing on the app. I’ve even been able to play with friends from afar online — it’s magical. The game has also gotten waaay less buggy in the past year. 10/10 you won’t regret buying it.

    Love that I can play with our son in Colorado and alternately play with my friend in Florida even though I live in Utah.
  • Excellent, save for glitches

    Excellent and addictive. Only dings are because of persistent glitches.
  • There is a room for improvement

    As a summary excellent game but the app has a room for improvement. Faster time format is absolutely needed. Instead of allocated 5 minutes per move, each player can have 20 minutes for the entire game. Also, the card/resource selection phase can be done concurrently by all players to save some time.
  • Crashes Constantly

    This is one of my favorite table top games but the app is terrible. I am writing this review after having the app crash three times in about 15 minutes. I can’t get through a full game without it crashing, typically multiple times. I still gave it 3 stars because it seems to same game progress before it crashes and the digital version is convenient to play on the go. I wish I would have put the purchase price of the app toward another expansion for the board game based on how frustrating my experience with the app has been.
  • 9.9/10!

    Love the physical game, and love the app version! My only suggestions would be the additions of a friends list, and an in-game text communication system. This would really elevate the experience, and make it feel more like playing the physical game with your friends.
