WINGSPAN OVERVIEW
Wingspan is a gorgeous and entertaining engine building board game released in 2019. You really have to give it up to the designer for creating something so deep and so immersive in the theme of aviaries. This is a really well put together game and deserves all the acclaim it received as one of the best games of its release year. Wingspan relies on an engine building core which is where you start with very little and have to build up piece by piece to get bigger and better. The game is incredibly unique, not just in its many special birds, but in how it executes this function of gameplay.
