Publisher's Description of Wingspan Americas Expansion
Wingspan Americas Expansion

The fourth Wingspan expansion explores the birds of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. This incredibly biodiverse and abundant region is home to more than 3,000 bird species, including the birds with the smallest and largest wingspans in the world (the Bee Hummingbird and Snowy Albatross, respectively).

Hummingbirds make up about one tenth of the bird species in Latin America, delighting birders with their quick movements and shimmering feathers. Designer Elizabeth Hargrave and artists Natalia Rojas, Ana Maria Martinez Jaramillo, and Martha Clare highlight them in this expansion with a special deck that adds a twist to gameplay.

The Wingspan core game (or Wingspan Asia) is required to play the Americas expansion.

Category Description for Wingspan

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!
