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.

Yeah I feel like if you are able to take the randomness in stride better than I do then that is much less of an issue.

It doesn't throw me nearly as much when a game is really short; like ten, fifteen minutes a round - because then who cares whether you got (un)lucky. You just make the best of it and next round things may be different.
But Wingspan is just long enough that I didn't enjoy myself several times when I happened to get a bad inital draw and not much in the market to mitigate.

Utterly unconnected to Wingspan other than being another Stonemayer title, but I'm really looking forward to getting Expeditions and giving that a go :)

Yeah is that the scythe thing?

It's a game in the Scythe setting, exactly. I got the Ironclad edition with metal mech minis and I'm looking forward to getting those in my fingers.

The gameplay is pretty different though. I think only the scoring is based on the achievement stars from Scythe but that's about it :)
