I would add that the theme is very well executed. I enjoy nature games for the artwork (e.g. Cascadia, Meadow) but few games have such breadth of artwork and detail.
Wingspan nailed the feel of its theme in the same way Rosenberg does for agriculture - it's something about the mechanics and thematic logic.
Absolutely agree. I think it's cool how the cards themselves and the mechanics all sort of make sense in context of the theme. (Example, birds that-in real life-don't make their own nests will lay eggs in other nests in the game)
Yeah, I really enjoy that about the animal goals in Cascadia, that they mirror realistic behaviour and provide a great gameplay mechanic
I'll need to check that game out sometime then!
There is also an app dedicated to what the chirp of each bird is by scanning the actual card of said bird. I don't use it very often, but it's a very interesting addition, although completely not needed.
