The Wingspan Asia Expansion includes a stand-alone game for two players only. Fundamentally, this game plays the same as multi-player Wingspan but there is a new end of round goal board for the two-player version only. When setting up the game as a two-player experience, players receive fifteen unique markers that start in each of the player board spaces where bird cards are played. When a player puts a bird card on their board, the token in that space moves out and the player adds it to the end of round board, which has three zones – one for each of the environments (woodlands, grasslands and water). Players put the token in the matching environment zone and on a space that corresponds to an attribute that the bird they played possesses such as one of the foods they eat, a wingspan range, a nest type or which direction the beak faces. For example, in round one, the end of round goal might be the most nest symbols on birds played. In that round, players would try to put goal tokens on spaces that match the nest type of the played bird. At the end of that round, the player with the most markers on a nest type space would win that goal. Each round, only the player with the most tokens that matches the goal receives points and the other player receives no points for that end of round goal. Other than the new end of round goal board, game play is the same as for multi-player Wingspan. The player boards have second sides that include nectar spaces so that Oceanic expansion cards can be used with the two-player game as well as core game cards and European expansion cards. This expansion also includes an automa mode for solo play as well as a new “Flock Mode" that uses the new player boards to expand a multi-player Wingspan game to a 6-7 player experience. However you choose to play with this Asia expansion, it offers variable modes and new ways to enhance your Wingspan experience with a game time of 40-70 minutes.
Wingspan Asia Game
Description
In this third expansion to Wingspan, we welcome new species to our habitats by exploring the vibrant, intriguing, and magnificent birds of Asia. These birds were chosen from the over 2,800 species that live in Asia.
Wingspan Asia is several different things: A stand-alone game for 1 player or 2 players (Duet mode that can be used with any bird/bonus cards), a card expansion to the original Wingspan (any bird/bonus cards across any Wingspan game or expansion can be combined), and a 6-7 player expansion via the new Flock mode (for which the player components from the core game are necessary).
Welcome to the world of Wingspan! Published in 2019, this game is available in 27 languages, has tens of thousands of board game enthusiasts and continues to be a favorite with our family and friends. Compete to build an aviary with colorful birds earning points based on the bird cards you choose to place on your player board along with their effects and bonuses. The base game featured mostly birds from North America. In the same year, the European expansion was released; adding 81 new bird cards, purple eggs and added goals. The Oceania expansion debuted in 2020, with the most significant additions being 95 new bird cards and the introduction of a wild food type called nectar. In 2022, Wingspan Asia was published as a stand-alone two-person version of the game with several options for play: including adding cards from Wingspan and its expansions to Asia or just using the cards from Asia with the standard version of Wingspan for multiple players. Be sure to look at the natural rubber playmat replacements with two-sides, which work with the original rules and new rules, including nectar with the release of Oceania. We look forward to future expansions, more birds and more spanning!
