In Wingspan 1-5 players compete to attract birds to their wildlife reserves. Wingspan has been strongly praised for its artwork, its accurate portrayal of its bird habitats, and its gameplay.

Brendan is looking forward to the Oceania expansion, which includes birds from the Australasian region, including the ‘Bin Chicken’ – the Australian Ibis, which picks up discarded cards ie ‘from the bin’! This game is great fun and relaxing to play, a visual feast, and Brendan give it an 8.6 out of 10.
