'Wingspan' European Expansion Gets Release Date - Trailer

by Rainier on April 12, 2022 @ 2:01 p.m. PDT

Wingspan is a relaxing strategy card game where your goal is to discover and attract the best birds your network of wildlife preserves.

Based on the award-winning board game of the same name, Wingspan is an exciting adventure where up to 5 players compete to build up their nature preserves in a limited number of turns.

You are bird enthusiasts—researchers, bird watchers, ornithologists, and collectors—seeking to discover and attract the best birds to your network of natural wildlife preserves, a shelter for many bird species. Each bird you play can build a chain of powerful combinations in one of your three habitats – forest, wetland, and grassland. Every habitat focuses on a key aspect of growing your reserves.

Discover new bird species and attract them by offering their favorite food. But keep in mind their natural habitat – animals won't settle in conditions they aren't adapted to. Have them lay eggs so you’ll be able to play new birds and gain more points. Roll the dice to gather food and draw cards to expand your reserve. Remember – each of the 170 unique birds has powers that echo real life: your hawks will hunt, your pelicans will fish, and your geese will form a flock.

Learn a fact or two about your feathered friends’ habits, but most importantly, sit back and relax while you enjoy this soothing gameplay experience. 

Wingspan: European Expansion takes you on a journey across Europe. You will be able to take the role of an explorer learning about birds from another continent. Beautiful backgrounds reminiscent of European landscapes and relaxing music will allow you to feel the atmosphere of the new location.

Just like in the base game, the player's main mission is to earn as many points as possible. You can do it by attracting birds to your wildlife preserve and firming the most powerful combinations from their abilities, so you can achieve the game's goals and accumulate supplies like eggs and food.

This time, however, the player must find another way to collect points, as the game balance is changing. The birds of Europe have brand new, powerful skills that change the existing gameplay dynamics. With Wingspan: European Expansion, the player can pick up food from opponents, use end-of-round active skills, play cards that occupy two slots in the habitat at one, and many, many more!

New goals and Automa cards will also be available to add variety to the game. And all this in the proven and beloved Wingspan environment.

Main features:

  • New birds, new powers. With a new region comes a larger pool of birds to discover. Each is accompanied by a recording of its bird call. European birds also have a set of new and diverse abilities – use end-of-round powers, pick up food from opponents, occupy two slots with one card, and more!
  • Achieve goals and attempt new strategies. The pool of round goals will be expanded with brand-new ones that add variety to the gameplay and shift its balance. Be clever and use the available resources to your advantage. Explore new ways to win!
  • Experience the beauty of European landscapes. Wingspan: European Expansion will show you beautiful, picturesque backgrounds inspired by the continent’s landscapes. You’ll be able to admire Dutch tulips in full bloom as well as the atmosphere of Eastern European blocks.
  • Immerse yourself in relaxing music. Let yourself be carried away by an original soundtrack from Pawel Gorniak, who composed music in Wingspan. Pleasant, relaxing pieces inspired by classical European string music will help you keep calm and focused during even the most demanding rounds.
  • Enjoy all the features from the base version of the game. With Wingspan: European Expansion, you won’t lose any of the features present in the base version of the game. You’ll be able to play cross-platform multiplayer with friends and strangers from different platforms. For those who like to test their skills, there will still be an Automated mode and weekly challenges, now with additional goals and bonus cards.

Wingspan: European Expansion will be available as digital download on PC (Steam, GOG), Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One/Xbox Series X|S on May 5, 2022.

Key Features:

  • Discover and attract the best birds in this relaxing strategy card game.

  • Based on an award-winning, competitive, card-driven board game.
