Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.

Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.

Sorry to say but I really don't. Wingspan is one of the few games I'd rather sit out than join a table to play. It's simply too prone to RNG for me to enjoy and I have been bored playing every time.

Not saying the game itself is bad but it is not for me nor I for it. Earth is similar but more enjoyable for me - but if I can I'd rather play something more complex.

Not knocking anyone who does enjoy this one or owns all of the content, mind you. Just wanted to add that, trivially, indeed not everyone enjoys everything that's popular. :)

I'm in your team.

The production is awesome, art and all. I took the game with an extension (the first, European) because I like engine builder and, yeah, couldn't be wrong, right?

But for an unknown reason, nothing happened on the table. A good review point the problem, IMHO: It lacks of drama.

The extension make things more interesting, IMHO. Maybe with all extension Wingspan become a "complete" game, dunno.

From what many people say the Oceania extension appears to ameliorate some of the weaker points.

But for me, I'm not going to force myself playing a game I didn't have fun with again and again when I have literally so many other games I do enjoy playing.

It's more than fine if people do enjoy it but I'm not among that crowd.
