Wingspan

Wingspan is the bird-themed engine builder that swept the 2019 Kennerspiel des Jahres, the highest honor in hobby gaming, selling over 1.5 million copies. Gameplay centers on building a wildlife preserve by playing bird cards that trigger chain reactions of eggs, food, and card draws, creating elegant mechanical loops that even non-gamers grasp within one round. Art by Natalia Rojas and Ana Maria Martinez is museum-quality, with many players framing the cards.
