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.
I think there can be a bit of drama, if you consider the drama of "can I build my engine fast enough"... or maybe just dont add up points in your head until the very end and hope for the best. I do think there's a sort of vaguely chill vibe that maybe tamps down on some of the drama.
Definitely not too much of the sort of "let me bait my opponent into doing X which they think is a good move but it will actually benefit me" (well there's some of that but not a ton).
